Joyce Morris

The family of Joyce Morris (nee Dickens) sadly announce her passing on July 29, 2012, of age related illness. Joyce was born in Draughton, England on June 11, 1922 to Lillian and Sydney Dickens. Her father died when she was three months old and she and her mother moved to London to live with family. Joyce received her schooling there and upon completion was employed by the British Medical Association. She lived and experienced the terrors of the London blitz and it was here that she met and married Jack Morris (to whom she was married for 47 years) while he was serving with the RCAF, Squadron 415. She came to Canada as a War Bride in November of 1944 after a harrowing journey across the North Atlantic to live with her husband’s family until his return after the war ended. They had three beloved children---Linda Morris Short, Robert Morris and Brian Morris all of Cambridge. She is also survived by her dear grandchildren Ian Short and Lisa Short (Peter Faragher) and her loving great grandchildren-Lily and Cameron Faragher and Katherine (Katie) and John Short. Joyce was a devoted wife and Mother and was dearly loved for her cheerful nature and gentle kindness. She will remain in our hearts forever. The family will receive friends at the T. LITTLE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE, 223 Main Street, Cambridge, Ontario N1R 1X2 (519) 623-1290 on Thursday, August 2, 2012 from 1pm until time of service in the chapel at 2pm. A reception will follow after the service at the Funeral Home. Private interment at Mount View Cemetery, Cambridge. As expressions of sympathy, Joyce and her family would ask that an act of kindness and goodwill in her memory would be greatly appreciated.
