Sisters Kathy and Sharon and brother Bill. Sister-in- law, Mary. A Celebration of Life will be held on February 17 at the Crossroads Community Church in Merritt, BC at 1pm with a reception to follow. Joyce was born in Windsor, NS. The East coast was always “Home” for her. Joyce settled on Vancouver Island in 1974 with her children where she met and married Bill. The family resided in Port Hardy until 1988 and then to Langley, BC. In 2002 they moved to Merritt, where they planned to retire. Joyce had other plans and continued to work right up to her passing. Joyce left a lasting impression on each of these areas that she lived through her volunteer work and community involvement. Closest to her heart, was her 45 years spent with Girl Guides of Canada. Joyce faced challenges head on. She was a force when it came to the things she loved and believed in. She was an inspiration to every life she touched. Joyce loved the outdoors, attending Girl Guide camps into her 70’s. She loved dancing, travelling and an ice cold glass of wine.
More than anything, she loved her family. Time spent with her family members was everything to her. We were always first in her heart. The family would like to thank Dr. McLeod and his staff for all of their care. In lieu of flowers. donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke foundation.
