Joyce Walton Nerby Lacina

With sadness we announce the passing of Joyce Lacina on January 9, 2012 at the age of 92.

She is survived by her husband Fran and their three children Karen (Brian Self), Doug (Nelma), Gwen (Gary Doi), six beloved grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

Joyce and Fran migrated to Penticton from Saskatchewan in 1948 and then in 1960 moved on to North Vancouver. Upon Fran’s retirement, they returned to the Vernon and Kelowna region. Joyce’s favourite times were spent with family – playing music, singing, gardening, traveling or preparing Sunday dinners.

To honour Joyce’s life, a memorial service will be held on Monday, January 16th at 1:00 pm at the LDS Church, 696 Glenmore Rd, Kelowna. Public viewing at 12:00 pm and a graveside service at 2:30 pm, Lakeview Memorial Gardens (2850 Dry Valley Rd).

The family would like to thank the Mountainview Village staff for their kindness and wonderful support. In Joyce’s memory, donations may be made to Mountainview Care Home (3070 Burtch Rd, Kelowna BC V1W 5G2). Please make cheques payable to Good Samaritan Canada.

Arrangements under the direction of Valleyview Funeral Home, Kelowna, BC.
