Joyce was born September 10, 1932 at The Muirhead Family Homestead Sec. 13-11-17 in the Rural Municipality of Elton, Manitoba to Edmond and Agnes Muirhead. Joyce had one brother Russell Muirhead.
Joyce and Harry travelled throughout the world and made many lifelong friends along the way. With the passing of Harry in 1988 Joyce found new travel partners in family and friends to continue her love of travel and exploring.
Joyce enjoyed working at Highwood Drugs and The Ant Hill Fabric store and in her spare time also loved bowling, curling and golfing. For 26 years she was a member of the Evergreen Seniors Outdoor Club where she participated in cross country skiing and hiking which remained a favorite activity into her late 80's. Trips to Scotland and England combined hiking and touring.
After being convinced to take a motorcycle ride with her son Brian she was quickly hooked and enjoyed many valued rides, including a ride with Kids With Cancer Society.
