Obituary
It is with great sadness, and lots of love, that the family of Joyce Nemirsky announce her passing on October 22, 2022 at the age of 77 years.
She is survived, and fondly remembered, by her loving husband of almost 57 years, Tony; her children Kyla (Michael) and Kyle (Pam); her step-granddaughters Taryn and Ari, her brother Joe (Genie) Dygdala and many nieces, nephews and other family members and close friends. She was pre-deceased by her parents Eugene and Anne Dygdala, sister Lucy Lambert and brother Casey Dygdala.
Joyce loved to cook and entertain. Being in the kitchen was one of her favorite places to be and almost always where you would find her. She also enjoyed road trips, camping, get togethers (especially Christmas) and any gathering where food could be enjoyed and memories could be made. But most of all, Joyce loved being a wife and a mother. Tony was the love of her life and her children, Kyla and Kyle, were her pride and joy. Joyce made sure those three always came first. As Kyla often said, Mom is a superwoman; always putting everyone and everything ahead of herself. Joyce had a love for gardening, country music, find-a-words, card games, church, carnations and anything red. After her stroke in 2002 she had to give up many of the hobbies she previously had, so she filled her time finding new things to keep herself busy and Tony on his toes. Joyce had quick and witty responses to anything; that sarcasm, wit and humor of hers will be missed. Many of her friends were life long and that in itself spoke to her character and loyalty. If you knew her, you loved her.
At Joyce’s request to not have a ceremony, memorial donations may be made in her name to The Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Cremation by Westlock Funeral Home and anyone later wishing to pay their respects may visit her at St Michael’s Cemetery, 13819-82 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5E 2X6.
