Ethel « Joyce » (Eye) Graham
1928-2021
Graham, Ethel « Joyce » (Eye) – age 92,
formerly of Mississauga, passed away Sunday,
28th of February 2021 in Valley Regional
Hospital, Kentville. Ethel Joyce Eye was born in Wolfville on
31st of March 1928 at the family farm on Eye
Rd. She was the youngest of nine, born to George and Ethel (Pick)
Eye. Joyce graduated from Wolfville High School and attended
Mack’s Business College before going to work with The Bank
of Montreal in Halifax. In 1956 she married F/O Allan H.
Graham (Ottawa) at CFB Winnipeg. Over 36 years Al’s airline
career took them across North America, mainly Winnipeg, Vancouver, Los
Angeles, Edmonton and Toronto. Joyce gave up her banking career to
take care of their growing family with her husband Al flying for
Wardair. Their home became affectionately known as The Graham Hotel to
friends and family. Joyce was a 30+ year volunteer and supporter of
the Canadian Cancer Society. She found driving patients incredibly
rewarding; this was probably responsible in part for her ever-sunny
disposition. In May 2020 Joyce returned to the Valley and took up
residence at Wedgewood House in Kentville. In spite of a growing
pandemic, Joyce was able to reconnect with her family, mainly her
sister and best friend, Barbara Eye (age 94). Joyce is remembered and
survived by her family: Barbara (sister), Donald (son), Stacey and
Lena (daughters-in-law), grandchildren Ava, Christian, and
Matthew. Joyce is predeceased by her husband, Al; her son,
Allan, and by siblings, Kenneth, Basil, Victor, Vernon, Theda,
Elliott, and Gerald. The family would like to thank Wedgwood House and
Valley Regional Hospital for the compassionate care they provided over
the last nine months. Donations in memory
may be made to Valley Hospice valleyhospice.ca/. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. On-line
