Joyce was a great lady. Always happy to see everyone and very hospitabe and genuine. Blythe and Joyce together just seemed to be the perfect couple. Like peaches and cream or peanut butter and jelly, some things are just meant to be. It should set everyone’s heart at ease knowing they are together again. Please let me know if there is a freezer full of shortbread cookies that you need help with. Love you all.

Diane you were the center for your mum. Joyce was so proud of you, Troy and Kenny. Cannot forget Willie.
I was privileged to have Joyce in my life. At the Adult Day Program Joyce’s sense of humor, her compassion for others, her enjoyment in our program made a big difference. She made us smile and laugh. We miss her. We remember her. We love her.

I am so very sorry for your Great loss. She will be so missed. I remember the day clearly, so many years ago. Having the displeasure of knocking on Your parents door to tell them of Kenny and Sharon’s demise :'( Just know that she is now with her husband and Kenny once again. What a great lady she was
Rose Paterak
Joyce and Blythe were the essence of the best kind of old-fashioned neighbours. We could often be seen strolling back and forth across the street to check in on each other and to catch up on whatever was the latest news of the day. It’s a great comfort knowing that they are together again.
Joyce and I were dedicated jigsaw puzzlers. Usually we could polish off a puzzle in one evening. There was only one puzzle that challenged us to two sittings to complete! My favourite thing about Joyce was that she loved to make people laugh and she worked hard at it, too. Laughter is the best gift we can give to anyone. It always makes the world a better place.
My sincere sympathies go out to Diane, Troy, and Kenny, as well as all of the family and many friends of Joyce. May your favourite memories of Joyce bring you peace and comfort at this sad time.
