Her memory will be cherished by daughters, Patricia (Jim) Welsh, Lesley (Cliff) Bischoff and son Rodney (Madge), seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by husband Jack, sister Marjorie, husband Bill and grandson Gary. Joyce was born in Birmingham, England on November 5, 1914. She immigrated to Canada in 1955 with the family, 18 months after Dad. Dad and our kid were married for 62 years and were very active in their long lives. They were inseparable and enjoyed many years of camping, boating, hiking, skiing and travelling. When Dad passed, Mom was able to maintain living independently. Heartfelt thanks go to the doctors, nursing staff and all the caregivers who took care of Mom at the Victoria General Hospital during her stay. not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year, but always. A private family celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined and should you desire, donations may be made in Joyce's memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 6 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB R3L 9Z0. Don't think of her as gone away her journey's just begun, life holds so many facets - this earth is only one... just think of her as resting from the sorrow and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched... for nothing loved is ever lost - and she was loved so much.
