JOYCE WILLIAMS
Joyce Irene Williams (nee Richardson) passed away peacefully on July 4, 2025, just days after celebrating her 100th birthday. She was predeceased by her parents George and Gladys Richardson (nee Hammerschmidt), her siblings Don, Lois and Dorothy, as well as her husband Rex in 1986. Joyce is survived by her children Geri, David and Brian, her brother Eldon Richardson, many cousins and two grandchildren.
She spent the first half of her life in rural Saskatchewan, and the second half in Manitoba. Her chosen vocation was to be a schoolteacher, and her long career was focused on the first grade.
She sought a life of calmness, serenity and conviviality surrounded by family and friends. To her credit, the life she envisioned for herself describes the life she actually lived.
Her service will be held July 31 at 10:00 AM at Thomson in the Park.

I went to school with Dave and Brian in Morris since Dave and I were in grade six. My late mother Barbara taught Kindergarten in the same school in Lowe Farm as Joyce for many years. During winters in high school Rex would drive Brian and me to table tennis tournaments in Winnipeg. Coached by his dad, Brian was unbeatable. Literally. Over the years I became very close friends with the family. These days I play tennis and music with Brian. Joyce was a lovely woman, always upbeat and smiling. Through her professional life, she influenced countless students. The last time I saw her was two years ago at her house. She remembered me and I took some photos with her. She will be missed. - Posted by: Paul M Straszynski (Friend) on: Jul 20, 2025
