Black, Barbara Joyce (Joy) –
It is with sadness, yet with joyful hope that the family of Joy Black share the news of her passing into the presence of her Saviour. Entering her forever home, Heaven, on Friday, January 14, 2022, she passed peacefully at Barnswallow Place, Elmira, Ontario, with family by her side.
“Mama Joy” lived her life sacrificially dedicated to serving her family and many others. She faithfully supported her late husband Clarence Black (2019), as they served the Lord in North Bay and Mattawa, Ontario.
Joy was known for her delicious baked goods, especially her butter tarts and pies. She had a quick sense of humour and often a song on her lips.
She will be missed by her beloved children, Nancy (Stu) Thompson of Michigan, Mary Ann (Mike) LaChance of Grey Highlands and Karen (Gord) Brock of Kitchener. She leaves behind her precious grandchildren, Leanne (Chad), Mitchell (Robin), Jared (Michelle), Monika, Ruthann (Michael), Glenn (Olivia), and Benjamin (Joanne) and 12 great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her granddaughter Carolyn Dawn Thompson.
