JOYCE LORRAINE MONKMAN (nee BIALEK) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving sister and aunt, Joyce on Wednesday, December 17, 2003 at Tudor House Personal Care Home. Joyce was predeceased by her husband Thomas (Tiny) Monkman; her parents, Thomas and Julia Bialek; and sister Ann Bialek. She leaves to mourn brothers, Albert (Joyce) and Casey (Jean) and sister Mary Shebeski; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Joyce was born January 17, 1922 in Sapton, MB.

  • I grew up living with Auntie Joyce and Uncle Tiny. I spent every summer with them until we moved to the NWT in 1963. I visited her at the Home in Selkirk in 2002. I would like to know what happened to all her pictures. She told me to take all the pictures of my family and I forgot them. Hopefully her brother Albert? can help me retrieve them. Would someone pls help me by answering this post. - Posted by: Eileen Hamilton (Monkman) (neice) on: Feb 18, 2014
