B. JOYCE RUSSELL Joyce passed away peacefully on Friday, September 7, 2007 at the Vista Park Lodge Personal Care Home. Her brother Richard and his wife Norma were at her bedside. She is survived by her brother Richard (Norma) of Winnipeg, sister Kathleen and sister-in-law Donna of Souris and many nieces and nephews. Joyce was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Martha Russell, Sister Grace Vrooman of Ottawa, sister Evelyn of Winnipeg and brother Denny of Souris. Joyce was born May 8th, 1923 in Souris, MB. She was raised in Souris and took all her public and high school education there. After high school Joyce moved to Winnipeg and took business school training. She was employed as a typist with several companies and businesses in the Winnipeg area. Later, due to health reasons, she could not work and lived with her sister Evelyn. After Evelyn passed away she lived alone for many years until suffering a stroke that resulted in being unable to care for herself. She moved Vista Park Lodge in late 2006 where she lived and was cared for until her passing. Joyce lived a quiet life. She had a good sense of humour, enjoyed playing her piano and visiting Polo Park Shopping Centre. She will be missed by her sister Kay and brother Richard. We would like to thank the nurses and staff at Vista Park Lodge who took such wonderful care of Joyce during the time she resided there. Their compassion and understanding were greatly appreciated. Cremation has taken place. A graveside service will be held in Souris on Saturday, September 15 at 2:00 pm. Arrangements are being handled by the Kowalchuk Funeral Home in Souris, MB.
