Obituary Overview
In Loving Memory of Joyce Jenkins
Joyce passed away peacefully on June 20, 2018 at Rest Haven Lodge in Sidney, B.C. Her family was with her. She will be missed by her sisters Joan and Maureen, daughter Christina, son-in-law Stan, grandchildren Megan, Jovan and Tim, and great-grandson Hector. She was predeceased by her son Royce, whom she lost over 50 years ago when he was six years old. We hope they are together. Joyce was a teacher and an artist who loved the outdoors. She was a gifted educator of young children and one of the first women to serve as principal of a British Columbia elementary school. She painted people and places she loved and taught art to her children and grand-children. She was a remarkable story-teller who invented games and characters that are remembered decades later. Anyone who knew Joyce appreciated her love of reading, original thinking, and proper grammar.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 8, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. Holy Trinity Anglican Church on 1319 Mills Rd in North Saanich, reception to follow. The family would like to thank the staff of Rest Haven Lodge for their care and support. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Joyce’s memory to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.
