It is with deep sadness we announce the
passing of Laura Joyce McMillan, age 84,
of Springhill. Joyce passed away Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at All
Saints Hospital.
Born in Springhill, she was a daughter
of the late William and Alberta (Dixon) White.
Joyce was the most dedicated and caring
wife, mother and grandmother. Her family always came first. Joyce and
Dan had a bond that you don’t come across very often. Partners in
life, raising their sons, and even business; together they built a
beautiful life for their family. Even when it wasn’t easy, they were a
team. Always better together.
Joyce loved her five boys more than
words could explain. Her most treasured pastime by far was spending
time with her grandchildren. She always had special stories to share
about each one of them. Joyce’s grandchildren will always
remember Nanny Joyce’s as a second home of their childhood.
They will remember how Nanny Joyce always had lunch ready for them on
school days, and fresh cookies baked for after school. They’ll
remember and treasure all of her hand written notes and cards for
every birthday, holiday or just because she was thinking of
them. They will remember how Nan’s was a place to play piano, write
stories, have tea parties, do makeovers, look at special photos, play
stick hockey in the dining room and even colour on the walls
if they felt like it. If the kids were happy, Nanny Joyce was
happy.
Beach time was Joyce’s favourite time of
year. She loved having the family together at Cameron Beach, our
special place. Many happy days were spent playing washer toss where
she was a fierce competitor, combing the beach for sea glass and
preparing Saturday evening family suppers.
She, like her beloved Dan, never
hesitated to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. Joyce and Dan’s
tenants, church community, employees and countless others were
recipients of their quiet generosity. They always gave
selflessly, never expecting anything in return.
Joyce will be dearly missed by sons,
Michael (Fran), Mark (Lynn), Tim (Jenny), Jamie (Lori) and John
(Samantha); her grandchildren, Billy (Amy), Kate, Tyler, Jessica
(Cody), Emily (John), Reilly, Lauren, Jayme (John), Evan, Shaye, Alex
and Rowan; great grandchildren, Avery, Noah, Brea, Bowen, Chloe,
Blakely, Hudson and Sophie, along with her sister
Doris.
Besides her parents, she is predeceased
by her siblings Carl, Richard and William as well as her husband Danny
in April.
Arrangements are under the care of
AH Brown Funeral Home, 5
MacFarlane Street, Springhill NS(902-597-2361). Following Joyce’s
wishes, cremation has taken place and a graveside service will take
place in the Spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to the Springhill food bank.
Sharing of condolences and memories may
