JOYCE VIVIANNE CAMPBELL (SUTHERLAND) It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I announce the passing of my mom, grandma and GG (great-grandma) to her precious great-grandchildren, on October 13, 2017. Joyce was born on September 9, 1939 in Winnipeg. Joyce will be remembered by her only daughter Kimberley and husband Rick, her granddaughters Andrea Cabral (Mark) and son Landon, Ashlee Watts (Tim) and children Russell and Lyla, Christyn McGuff and Brenley Haralson (Jordan). Joyce will also be remembered by the Sutherland family, and her many nieces and nephews. Joyce will be dearly missed by Russ's family Ken (Della), Laverne (Maurice) and Ron (Beth) of Revelstoke, BC. Joyce was predeceased by the love of her life Russ, her parents Alex and Ethel Sutherland, in-laws Earl and Myrtle Campbell, sister Gail Voss, brother Alan Sutherland, brother-in-law Stan Campbell, and sister-in-law Joan Sinclair and her husband James, also friend Norman Moore. On August 30, 1958 Mom married the love of her life Russ, and they enjoyed 41 years together. They resided in Stony Mountain until 1973 at which time they embarked on a different adventure and purchased Riverdale Tourist Camp in Lac du Bonnet which they operated until they sold it in 1983. After a short period of time they moved back to Stony Mountain where they resided until they purchased their hobby farm in Teulon in 1995. Mom and Dad resided in Teulon until Dad's passing in 1999 and Mom then moved back to Stony Mountain to be closer to Kim and Rick and her grandchildren. Mom was so very proud to say she was a descendent of the Selkirk Settlers. Family meant the world to Mom and when she invited you for dinner you always knew there was going to be plenty of food and laughter. Mom would always say eat up she didn't want any leftovers! There was many occasions where you would find someone lying on the floor with a full belly! Sutherland and Campbell "Family" gatherings meant everything to Mom, she always said it was easier to cook for a crowd then to cook for two! Mom loved to travel, Dad and Mom's favourite spot was Hawaii, although after Dad passed away Mom was fortunate to travel to Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Mom always said if you give her an hour she could be packed and at the airport ready for her next adventure! During the summer Mom loved to go camping and had many wonderful adventures with family members and her special camping buddies Maurice and Laverne. In the winter Mom loved nothing more than to watch a good curling game on TV. She knew all the players and all the shots! Our heartfelt thanks go out to the many friends and family members that came to visit and spent time with Mom over the last couple of years. Special thanks go out to Pat and Jim Pierce who were her "lookouts" and her special confidant Helen Haack. Thank you to the staff of Stonewall Hospital, Dr. Zahiri and the special nursing staff there, who treated Mom with dignity and respect and were always there to help her. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Stonewall Hospital or The Manitoba Lung Association. In compliance with Joyce's wishes cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held on Friday, October 20, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in The Heritage Arts Centre at Stonewall Quarry Park. A private family interment will follow. Ken Loehmer Funeral Service in care of arrangements.
