B. Joyce Murray
1924-2018
The sudden death of Joyce Murray of Sea View, in her
84th year, occurred at the Ottawa Heart
Institute on Monday January 8, 2018. She was born in
Summerside on April 17 1934, the only child of late Earle and
Elizabeth (Beairsto) MacKay. Wife of J. Darrach
Murray. Mother of Ross Murray (Alex Houghton) and Kenneth
(Kimberley) Murray. She doted upon her grandchildren, Wynn
and Katie Murray. All will miss her terribly! She was
predeceased by her son Steven Murray.
Joyce attended Sea View School, Prince of Wales College and
the Prince County Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in
1955. Later that year, she married her Canadian Armed Forces
husband and, as a result lived in every Canadian province east of
Saskatchewan, except Newfoundland and Labrador. Also, she
enjoyed three years in North-West Europe and probably most enjoyed
Canadian postings in Toronto, Ottawa and especially
Moncton.
During her six-year stay in Orleans, Ontario, Joyce became
the first, fully-qualified, female firefighter on the Queens Heights
Volunteer Fire Department. For this, and similar activities
throughout her life, she was awarded the Queens Golden Jubilee
Medal.
Resting at the Davison Funeral Home Kensington.
Completed funeral arrangements to be announced. Interment in
New London People’s Cemetery. If so desired contributions
may be made to New London People’s Cemetery Fund.
