LARKIN: Joyce L. (Gillespie), January 17, 1931 - August 19 2018. Joyce L. Larkin died peacefully at the Berwick surrounded by the love of her family. Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her children Cheryl (Randy) Chisholm, Pat (Bev) Larkin, Dean (Judy) Larkin, Brian (Susan) Larkin, grandchildren Rory (Holly) Chisholm, Ryan Chisholm, Nicole Larkin, Kerry (Adam) Hartman, Shane Larkin, Tyler (Amanda) Larkin, great grandchildren Ray and Beau Chisholm, Brooke and Cole Hartman. Joyce was born in Crystal City, MB and grew up in Gunton, MB. She taught elementary school in Cartwright, MB until she married Hugh Larkin on 22 August 1953. They started their married life in Winnipeg, and Brandon. They moved to Virden in 1963 where their family grew up. Joyce was active in the community and had many great times golfing, and curling. The cabin at Oak Lake was where the family spent their summers and we will cherish those memories of fun on the lake and late night card games with family and friends. Joyce and Hugh purchased Brandon Chrysler Dodge in 1975. In 1988 Joyce and Hugh retired and moved to Arbutus Ridge, BC where they spent 25 years enjoying trips on their boat, golfing and time spent with family and friends. Joyce's most precious times were when she was with Hugh and surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. There will be a family service. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Society. The family would like to thank the staff at the Berwick, and Dr. Ted Rosenberg for the wonderful care they gave Mom these last few months.
