JOY PROFIT It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Joy Profit, on Thursday, June 26, 2014, Winnipeg, MB at the age of 62 years. She was always an old soul and was affectionately nicknamed "The Old Girl". She will be forever remembered by siblings Brenda (Bob) McCracken, Kris (Sherry) Profit; nieces and nephews Tricia (Dan) Precourt, Heather (Clint) Unrau, Graham Profit, Brett Profit, and Lauren (Dan) Profit. She will be greatly missed by her life-long friend Lynn, and remembered always by aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Joy is predeceased by her partner in life, Josef Schnieder; as well as mom and dad Kenneth Profit and Dorothy Profit; and stepfather Byron Benjamin. The Old Girl will be mostly remembered for her intelligence, thoughtfulness and organizational skills. In her younger years she would organize the neighbourhood kids, young and old, to dress up and do whatever she thought fit. Joy was also known to bail her younger brother out when he would neglect to study, all year, and need her assistance to prep for his final exams. Joy had many talents, some of which included painting and music. She would often tickle the ivories with her well-manicured nails. One of her passions was to travel, so it was a natural fit that she became a travel agent. Joy worked for numerous travel agencies before she found a home and developed some valued friendships at Fehr Way Tours. Joy was never one whom appreciated being the center of attention. As such, the family has decided there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204.897.4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com
