Joy and Stanley moved to Victoria in 2006 to enjoy some years with her West Coast family. Lovingly remembered by her husband Stanley, children: Lillian (Jim), Irene (Frank), Richard (Melanie), Sharon (Brian), her brother Clifford Rossin, sister-in-law Herma. Also, by her precious grandchildren: Jeffrey, Laura, David, and Sean; many nieces, nephews, dear family members and friends, and special kindred spirit Vera Rossin.
