H. JOYCE DUECK With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister, and friend Joyce Dueck (nee Bergen) on April 13, 2015. Born in Winnipeg on March 12, 1959, she was the youngest of four sisters. Educated in Winnipeg but growing up just outside the city, Joyce enjoyed farm life. She loved animals - particularly cats. She loved to sing and had many memories of working at Sal's in her teen years. In 1980, she was married to Pete and was blessed with two children, P.J. and Katherine, the pride and joy of her life. After she and the children moved to Niverville in 1990, she felt like she had found home. She found peace in the community, in her church, in her job and volunteer activities of which there are many. Joyce was especially proud of her role as a First Responder. She took pride in her work and set an example of serving community for her children. No need was too big or too small. She made a difference, a wholehearted giving of herself. She was enriched by serving at Family Camp at Rock Lake throughout the summers in the mid to late 1990s. She served with great passion, again continuing as a role model for her children. One of Joyce's oft-mentioned phrases: "You can't do any better than your best!" She did what it took to ensure that her best effort was always put forward. Now she has found her eternal home and the hope of the Promise of Christ. Predeceased by her parents, Joyce leaves behind P.J. (Elsaida), Katherine (Bradley), her precious cat, Liebchen "little love", sisters Vera (Clarence), Betty (Cam), Erma (Lawrence), numerous nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews and one great-great-nephew. Sincere thanks to the medical team, including Nicolle. Viewing will be held 7:00 p.m., Friday, April 17, 2015 at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St., West St. Paul, MB. Funeral service will be held 10:30 a.m., Saturday, April 18, 2015 at Maranatha Good News Centre, 99 Main St., Niverville, MB, with viewing one hour prior. Pastor Roger Armbruster officiant.

My dear sister Joyce has gone home. She is rejoicing with the Angels in heaven, and playing scrabble and chinese checkers with mom. Yes, Joyce, you left us far too soon, but God took you now because it was your time. You left us a legacy that could never be beat or repeated. Our fun times together will always be remembered in my heart and our trips to the Doctors will be missed. PJ and Katherine are strong and will continue your legacy as you taught them through your love and constant prayers. You will be greatly missed by all. I love you Joyce. V. - Posted by: K.

Joyce will live forever in our hearts as a true friend that you could trust to the uttermost. She left us too soon, but we do know that what she imparted to us while in the body will never die, and that her legacy will live on! Her life spoke much louder than words alone could ever do, and for this we are eternally grateful. - Posted by: Roger Armbruster (Friend) on: Apr 17, 2015

I was shocked at seeing that Joyce has gone to be with her Best friend Jesus. I am saddened for the loss that PJ & Katherine feel. Joyce was a terrific actress, she could play the role of a woman or man equally convincingly. Joyce & I also enjoyed numerous evenings playing games such as scrabble. I don't remember who won but I know there always was laughter & sharing as to what life would bring and a concern for her children. Your love for life and laughter will be missed. - Posted by: Christine (Friend) on: Apr 16, 2015

I will remember Joyce for her smile and energy of laughter and just plain being your friend. She gave her all and now she is in Glory with her Heavenly father singing in his choir.

Our hearts were broken when we heard of Joyce's passing. She gave 100% of herself over many weekends and summers at camp and was "the life of the party". We loved her and never tired of the very long, very funny stories. Our prayers are with Pete and Kate. "What a loss on earth, what a blessing in Heaven". - Posted by: Vic & Jeannie Neustaedter (Friends) on: Apr 16, 2015

My heart is both grieving and rejoicing with you as a family who's experiencing the "letting go" and loss from this present day, of one your hearts have loved so deeply. My memories of Joyce go back to days where we were living in the same community of Niverville and attending the same church. My life was enriched by her laughter and love for life, her caring and encouraging heart and her unselfish service. I know that she touched many lives and brought much love and joy wherever she went. I can hear her cheery laughter and see her smiling even now..though absent in body ..forever present in spirit! So thankful for the gift she was in our lives. Blessing you all with those wonderful memories and much peace, comfort and joy as you celebrate her life! - Posted by: Linda Banman (friend) on: Apr 16, 2015

Aunty Joyce was always a joy to have around because she was such a great story teller. She'd have me laughing the whole way through! She was a lady full of love for her family & you felt it in her hugs! - Posted by: Nicolle Orsulak (Niece) on: Apr 16, 2015

To meet Joyce made you her friend. A hug and a kiss were her "hello" and "goodbye". At our family gatherings (the last one on April 5th), it was Joyce who administrated the event. It was Joyce who orchestrated the food, the seating, the timing. When the rest of us were indecisive, it was Joyce who would say, "let's do it this way." When there were outbursts of laughter, it was because of one of Joyce's stories, (and she had a doozy of a story for us that day, too). We'd be laughing already, and she'd wave both hands and say, "just wait, I haven't come to the funny part yet!" She is not dead. She is alive, in the heavenly realm, awaiting the rest of us, and I'm sure she is collecting new stories to tell us when we see each other again. A hug and a kiss to you, Joyce. This world is a sadder place because you are not in it. - Posted by: Erma & Lawrnce (Sister and Brother-in-law) on: Apr 16, 2015
