It is with great sadness that the family of
Joyce Graham announces her passing on August 9, 2019 at her home in
Fredericton,
N.B.
Joyce was born in Chatham, N.B. to the late
Harold and Mildred MacKay of Black River, N.
B.
She was predeceased by her baby brother Allison and
her father, Harold, when she was 6 years old. Joyce was
raised by her maternal grandparents, J.W. and Elspeth
MacNaughton.
In 1998 her older brother Fraser passed and
last fall her youngest sister Shirley also
passed.
She is survived by her sister Dorothy (Bryan) Lind,
Comox, B.C. Her daughters Beth (Owen) Brewer, Bathurst, N.B.
and Nancy (Allan) Denton, Rocky View County,
AB.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by
her grandchildren Angela Brewer, Montreal, QC, Katrina Brewer,
Sudbury, ON, Andrew (Dalene) Brewer, Lloydminster, Sask., Kimberly
(Wesley) MacLean, Oromocto, NB and Matthew (Angela) Denton, Hammonds
Plains, NS. There are 5 great grand children, Maizy, Tyler,
Madison, Thatcher and Parker. Mom also held dear her nieces,
nephews and
cousins.
Joyce was a devoted wife and mom. She
enjoyed sewing, knitting, cooking and spent endless hours in her
garden. Digging in the soil (often with no gloves) gave her
great joy.
She made lifelong friends at Wilmot Church,
her bridge club, curling and lawn
bowling.
Our family enormously appreciates the wonderful care
given by the nurses and staff of Extra Mural. Without their
guidance and compassionate support, we could not have cared for mom at
home. Mom called them the gals with
wings.
Visitation will be at Bishop’s Funeral
Home, 540 Woodstock Road on Thursday, August 15, at 1:00 PM followed
by The Celebration of Life Service at 2:00 PM. Interment will be at a
later date. www.bishopsfuneralhome.com
