Obituary
Joy Laurel Eleith Robinson (nee Pryce), formerly of Bath, St. Thomas & Kingston in Jamaica;
London, UK; Brooklyn, NY; and Drumheller, AB
Born October 29, 1932 – Kingston, Jamaica
Died May 14, 2020 – Drumheller, Alberta, Canada
Lovingly called Aunt Posy, she loved back in equal measure her husband Rupert; children
Marcel, Janice (Tony Longmore), Grace, and Karen; granddaughter Jeanae; and countless
extended and adopted family and friends. A registered nurse for 48 years, she was also an
excellent cook, a sought after baker (her Christmas/rum/fruit cake was legendary), storyteller,
sage, abandoner of short-term obsessions (sewing, cake decorating, piano playing, the bread
machine), and armchair expert on current events. She loved music, puppies, flowers,
Coronation Market in Kingston Jamaica, good food (with the exception of okra), an occasional
rum cream liqueur, and beautiful clothes. Most of all, she loved the Lord Jesus Christ, in whose
arms she is now at peace.
Her Celebration Of Life will be livestreamed on Saturday, May 30 at 2pm MDT. A memorial
service will be held in Jamaica at a later date when we can gather together in worship and
thanksgiving. Donations in her honour can be made to your local food banks and shelters.
Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Homes are in care of the arrangements.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joy Laurel Eleith Pryce Robinson October 29 1932 May 14 2020 (age 87)..
Death notice for the town of: Drumheller, Province: Alberta
