EVELYN KARN JOYCE KERNTOPH Suddenly, on November 15, 2005, Evelyn Karn Joyce Kerntoph (nee Hammersley) left her earthly family to join the heavenly family. Joyce was born September 10, 1924 in Kelloe, MB and grew up on the farm near Birnie, MB. After finishing school, she became a teacher, which brought her to the Ashern area where she met and married Bill, her husband of 57 years. Joyce had a variety of interests and talents, some of which were the church, 4-H, cake decorating, sewing, knitting, painting and gardening. Anyone who has ever driven past their yard couldn't help but admire the garden and flowers. She loved a roadtrip and would pick berries anywhere. Bill and Joyce opened and operated the Robinson's Store in Ashern for 29 years. Joyce was a quiet, giving lady who will be sadly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
