I am so grateful to have known Joyce. I worked with her at St. Joes for 10 years. Joyce always worked evenings and when I signed off to her I knew all of my patients were in excellent hands. Joyce was beyond kind and compassionate. She had such a quiet unique strength. She was an exceptional woman and superb nurse. She was a role model for me. My sincere condolences to all of her family. Love you dear Joyce.

Dear Bruce, Joan and Barry, please accept my condolences for the loss of your mom. I have great memories of Joyce and happy times in the old neighbourhood and at Mill Lake.

Growing up in the house next door to this dear woman along with her family was a great gift. She always treated us like one of her children. She always had cookies and juice ready. I will forever remember her beautiful soul. God bless her children and grandchildren. Thank you for sharing her with us

My condolences Joanie, Barry, Bruce and the family. I am saddened to hear of the passing of Aunt Joyce. She was delightful and a true caregiver. She was a light in the darkness and a kind, compassionate and loving person. I looked up to her and strove to be just like her. She had dignity and was a women of substance and strength. Rest in peace beautiful lady you will be missed beyond measure. Hugs to all who loved her.

Your Mom has seldom been out of my thoughts since leaving town as she was a big part of most seniors, like my Mom, Aunt, etc. She was always smiling, willing to get involved and an amazing gentle woman. She has now made her journey home with her family and friends called before her to the Lord.. It is my belief, that you will be with her again someday. Until then, just like your Dad, your Mom will always be close by and watching over you. Our deep love for those who died are always kept alive in our memories and hearts. God Bless all of you. Your Mom was proud of each of you and used to speak of you often. Be good to each other. 💐❤️🤗

Joyce was a beautiful soul with a glowing smile ever present and always ready with a hug. She was a great friend to my mother Agnes. a pillar of strength to her family and friends. She will forever hold a special place in my heart. Hugs and prayers to her family.

Always had such respect for Joyce. Such a good person and a fine nurse.
