Joyce C. Mason

Born on August 3, 1926 in Queensland, Australia, Joyce was the youngest child of Clara Rablin and John Baptist Colquhoun. She was married to the love of her life for nearly 70 years, an American soldier, Amor John Mason Jr., who predeceased her by five years.

In 1946, as a warbride on the Mariposa, she travelled from Australia to America and started a new life. She and her husband raised six children, Glen (Diane), Amor John III (Maureen), William (Mary Jane), Michelle (Jack), Jacqueline (Michael) and Jeffrey. But she never forgot her Aussie roots and family. They lived on in her heart.

She is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

Joyce loved working in retail and was always known to be a very hard worker. No matter life's circumstances, she had a smile on her face and always looked at the bright side. She would say, "tomorrow's another day!"
