JOYCE MAGDELENE CIELEN
Date of Passing: Aug 02, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOYCE MAGDELENE CIELEN 1944 - 2013 Joyce, surrounded by the love of family, passed on to eternal rest on August 2, 2013. Family and friends feel a deepened sadness at her passing. Leaving to mourn, is her loving and devoted brother Lorne (Gail) and the love of her life, her nephew Trevor as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A great number of family and friends will each find a way to keep the memories and special moments alive in their hearts that they have shared with Joyce. She brought richness to the family that will never be forgotten. Joyce was born to Joseph and Veronica Cielen, attended schools in Winnipeg's North End and began a long fulfilling career as an Admittance Clerk with the Health Sciences Centre. The career which lasted over 30 years culminated in her reaching the next phase of her life. Retirement allowed Joyce to devote even more time to her passions of gardening, travelling and dancing. Her love for all living things was not more evident than the care she gave her many family dogs over the years. They were constant companions and ever so precious to her. Her flower and rock garden was a vision of beauty and peacefulness. This beauty and peacefulness extended to another aspect of Joyce's life. Her concern for others: being it the taking of food to a shut-in neighbour; pushing them in their wheelchair to go shopping or lending an ear to listen to their trials and tribulations, will be cherished for many years. She was a gracious lady, a loyal friend and a loving aunt. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, August 8 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Mountain and Andrews. Interment will be alongside her mother and father in Holy Ghost Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities or a charity of your choice. ...At Rest and At Peace... Cropo Funeral Chapel, 204-586-8044

I am truly sorry for the loss of Joyce to all of her family. I pray God's peace envelopes your hearts at this difficult time but I hope He reminds you of some wonderful stories and memories to share and to even laugh at. My Uncle Ronnie loved Joyce. They loved to dance and it is very special that she was with him when he passed away doing what he enjoyed doing, dancing. My family is grateful to Joyce for loving him and making him happy and laugh. Joyce was a good companion to Uncle Ronnie. She was a fun lady but a serious one. There was no having dessert before your dinner. lol That was something Joyce and I disagreed about. I am so sorry for this shocking news. I will be out of town for the funeral but know I will be thinking of all of you while you say goodbye to Joyce and celebrate her life. - Posted by: Angela Stupak (my Uncle Ronnie was a boyfriend to Joyce up until he passed away) on: Aug 07, 2013

When I think of Joyce I am reminded of her excellent work ethic. Joyce was very kind to patients and tried to help them as best she could. She had quite a sense of humor and wit and provided the office with a lot of it. She talked about her family, dog and garden with such pride. I am so sorry for Joyce's passing but my memories of her will always be with me. - Posted by: Caren Muckosky (co-worker) on: Aug 06, 2013
