MURIEL JOYCE GLASGOW (nee MORGAN) Joyce Glasgow passed at her home, peacefully in her sleep August 6, 2013 at the age of 86. Joyce will be remembered always by her daughter Barbara (Bart) Bowors, sons Vaughn (Susan) Glasgow, grandchildren Whitney and Jessica, Doug (Donna) Glasgow, grandchildren Sydnee and Morgan, sister, Margaret McColm sister-in-law, Judith Glasgow; and her nephews and niece. She was predeceased by her husband, Charles (Charlie), her parents, Edward and Annie Morgan; parents-in-law, Charles and Constance Glasgow; brother-in-law, Ken McColm; and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Constance and Tom Lilley. Joyce was born November 12, 1926 in St. Vital to Edward and Annie (Ewers) Morgan. She was raised in St. Vital attended elementary school at Glenwood School then graduated from Glen Lawn Collegiate at the age of 17. Joyce and Charlie were married in 1954 and moved from Winnipeg to Minnedosa the following year. They quickly became involved in their new community, joining St. Mark's Anglican Church and enjoyed supporting many of the services groups in town. This year she received a 60 year pin to commemorate her involvement with Beta Sigma Phi. After the children were born, Joyce became even more involved in the community; Brownies, sewing for the figure skating club, hockey mom and pitching in where ever she could help. Every summer Joyce was at the beach with all the other mothers, watching their children splash through swimming lessons and playing in the sand and water. As the family grew, an annual summer tradition of vacationing began in different places around the country. Everyone got packed into the car and away they went. It was a wonderful experience seeing all the different sights for the first time together as a family. This annual vacation continued after the children were gone from home, with Joyce and Charlie enjoying many road trips and new adventures. There was always fresh baking in the Glasgow household and Joyce was often trying out new recipes to change up what she sent to the many events and organizations she was involved in. She always made sure that fresh baked goodies were in the house, even after the children were gone. Once she knew someone was coming home, a favourite cake or cookies would be waiting for them. At Christmas she sent "care packages" to her children so they could have a tin of shortbread for the holidays. Joyce was the secretary at Tanner's Crossing School for almost 25 years and retirement gave her time to become more involved in the community, enjoy her gardens and home. Her grandchildren were always a great source of joy, and she took pride in their accomplishments. Joyce will be missed, still the family is comforted by their memories, and she will remain in their hearts and thoughts forever. Service was be held at St. Marks Anglican Church in Minnedosa, August 10 2013. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Joyce's memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or CancerCare Manitoba. Minnedosa Funeral Service in care of arrangements.
