Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her children: Linda (Peter), Lisa (Larry), Laura (Cam); her grandchildren: Michelle, Diana, Ryan, Jennifer; her brothers George, Danny, and Ken; and extended family and friends. Predeceased by her husband Ted (2002) and her parents Daniel and Rose. Joyce grew up in Stony Mountain and Winnipeg. She graduated from the Winnipeg General Hospital School of Nursing in 1958 and on July 22, 1961, she and Ted were married. Joyce worked as a nurse in Minneapolis, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. Prior to retirement Joyce was a dedicated geriatric nurse at Deer Lodge Centre. Joyce's love of travel took her on adventures all over the world. She was active with many organizations including the WGH/HSC Alumni Association, Horticultural Association, multiple Seniors and Widows groups while still finding time for harmonica, yoga, aqua-fitness and spending time with her family and friends. She was very involved with her grandchildren whom she loved dearly and never missed the opportunity to attend school, music and sporting events. She was very proud to be their biggest fan. For her years of ongoing wellness care, the family would like to thank Dr. Sheila Domke and also thank the staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their recent care and compassion.

All the staff and members of the Charleswood Senior Centre enjoyed knowing Joyce. She was cheerful and energized. She gave cancer a good fight and came out ahead. It made her appreciate and enjoy life even more! She valued family, events, groups and hobbies. She was always cheerful. She was constantly busy. Sorry she didn't get more time to enjoy all the things she loved to do. She will be missed. - Posted by: Janet McCombe and the staff of the Charleswood Senior Centre (Joyce was a member of the Centre and a friend to everyone) on: Jul 28, 2016

I met Joyce through the Charleswood Senior Centre. We enjoyed a trip together and many lunches. Joyce was a great visitor when I was in the hospital after my stroke. She always had encouraging words. I am so saddened by her passing. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Eleanore Chopp (Friend) on: Jul 26, 2016

Joyce was a very good friend and help to many. We've been friends & classmates for years. She was a true inspiration. She travelled on the same trip as my husband Al & I to Russia & China. She always brought home some neat gifts for her family. I'm really going to miss her & her connection with the WGH/HSC Alumnae. AS Class Rep. for our"58B" nursing class from the WGH I wish to extend condolences on behalf of the class. WE are a close knit class and Joyce will be missed. - Posted by: Marlene Herman (Longtime friend & classmate) on: Jul 25, 2016
