It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family of Joyce McGugan announce her sudden passing.
Joyce passed away peacefully on April 4, 2018 at the age of 92. Her son Douglas and daughter Norma were with her at this time.
Joyce is now reunited with the love of her life Ron who passed away September 25th, 2017.
Joyce came to Canada from England as a war bride in 1946. She lived in Sesekinika, Kenogami then in Kirkland Lake.
Joyce is predeceased by her twin sister Violet, her brother Jeffery, as well as brothers-in-law, Norman and Donald McGugan and her sister-in-law Esther Farstead McGugan. She is tenderly remembered by her sister in-law, Marion as well as her devoted children, Norma Teigen (Norman), Douglas McGugan (Linda) and Patricia Morin.
Joyce was a devoted Nan to her grandchildren , Rob, Robin, Lori, Michael, Cheryl, David and Patrick and her great grandchildren Jay, Al, Justy, Devon, Koral, Adam, Madison, Aaron, Colby, Jeremy, Ryan, Nicholas, Zachary, Matthew, Shaina and Lennox who all loved and cherished her.
Joyce was an avid line dancer; gardener, bowler and she belonged to the Kirkland Lake Horticultural society and to Interlink choir. As well as all this Joyce taught classes for seniors at Extendicare while in her 80’s.
Joyce was full of life, love and laughter. She loved her family with all her heart. Her friends were very important to her. She was a shopaholic and loved to buy clothes, fancy shoes and chocolates.
Thursdays were hair days with Kim and Claudia always made sure her nails were perfectly polished with bling. Joyce always looked her best even when gardening or cleaning house. She was from a generation of class! Jeans and t shirts just didn’t cut it.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Our heartfelt thanks are extended to all the staff at Teck Pioneer Residence, to the wonderful Dr. Kirki and the staff at Kirkland and District hospital as well as the Rev. Catherine Murkin.
