JOYCE DHEERE
It is with heavy hearts we announce the unexpected death of our cherished mum and grandmother Joyce on April 6, 2018 after a brief illness at St. Boniface hospital.
She will be sadly missed by her children: Pat Zaborniak (Jim), Leslie Jones, Mike Dheere (Jane), David Dheere, Caite Dheere (Matthew) and Janet Dheere (Jaime). Her memory will be treasured by her five grandchildren: Matthew, Lauren and Zak and Alan and Elise. Her extended family of sisters-in-law Jacquie and Georgette and brother-in-law Danny and nieces, nephews and many friends will greatly miss her.
Joyce was predeceased by her beloved husband Gus after 53 years of marriage. Her parents, Maude and Ronald, and her four siblings: Ken, Doug, Maureen and Mona and son-in-law Brian also predeceased her.
From humble beginnings on a farm in Sanford, Manitoba, Joyce moved to the big city of Winnipeg to launch her nursing career. There she made life long friendships with the members of the Winnipeg General Nursing class of 1951. Her career was varied and she took time off to raise her six children. In 1993, Joyce retired from the Victoria Order of Nurses as the Home Care Coordinator at the Misericordia Hospital.
Beyond her nursing career, Joyce was a dedicated caregiver to extended family and friends over the years. She was a devout Catholic. A vibrant, energetic person, Joyce strove to maintain her independence despite the health challenges she was facing in her 90th year. Joyce loved her Blue Jays games and enjoyed watching curling. Her bridge get-togethers were particularly special to her, but more than anything, she valued her family and the time spent together.
The family would like to extend our heart felt thanks to Dr. P. G. Mehta, her family physician for over 30 years. We also express our gratitude to the 5E medicine team at St. Boniface for their compassionate care.
A celebration of Joyce’s life will take place on Saturday April 14, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street.
Flowers gratefully declined. If desired, donations may be made to a charity dear to Joyce’s heart: Clubhouse Inc. of Winnipeg 172 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
