Beautiful memories will fill our hearts. On December 6, 2020 a precious soul went to join those she loved - her husband Bill, brother Stan Lyon, sisters in law Deanna Lyon and Isabelle Lyon, brother in law Norm MacPherson and sisters in law and husbands Betty McCall (Armand Stoll) and Dianne McCall (Gordon McMain) as well as other relatives and many friends.
Joyce Lyon’s birth certificate shows Deveron, a hamlet just south of Wolseley as her birth place. She was the first of five children born to John and Evelyn (Bougner) Lyon. Joyce attended a one room school house until her family moved into Wolseley in 1946. During her teenage years she met the love of her life Bill McCall. The couple married and moved to Indian Head in 1953. Working and volunteering in the community they raised five children.
As the proud mother of the 5 “D’s” - Darlene (Rae) Harkness, Don (Shirley) McCall, Donna (Barry) Clayton, Dave McCall, Dale (Nancy) McCall - she will be missed and remembered as a loving, hard-working, supportive and encouraging Mom.
To her ten grandchildren: Keith (Sharon) Harkness, Darin Harkness, Jenn Harkness, Dustin (Heidi) McCall, Daniah (Brie) McCall, Dean (Courtenay) Clayton, Scott (Becky) Clayton, Ashley (Barry) Osborn, Tanner (Hilary) McCall, MacKenzie (Jason) McCall - she was a special, kind and always proud Grandma interested in all their activities.
Ten great-grandchildren - Aidan, Charlee, Addi, Liam, Ciara, Myles, Ella, Adalyn and Carissa and Oscar - will miss her little notes and smiling face.
Also missing her will be her sister Lois (nee Lyon) MacPherson, brothers Doug (Bea) Lyon and Allan (Judy) Lyon and many nieces and nephews she cherished. Her many friends and acquaintances will fondly remember her as kind and sweet - always offering her heart and hand.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Zimmerman, the paramedics and the entire Indian Head Hospital and Golden Prairie staff for the caring manner in which they watched over our Mom.
It was her wish not to have a formal service. Joyce will rest beside Bill in the Indian Head cemetery following a private family gathering. Should you wish, in memoriam donations would be greatly received by Golden Prairie Activities, Box 250, Indian Head, SK S0G 2K0, Indian Head and District Hospital Foundation, Box 1547, Indian Head, SK S0G 2K0 or a charity of your choice.
Death leaves a headache no one can heal
Love leaves a memory, no one can steal!
