Joyce was born at home near Outram, SK and took her grade school at Dale School. Joyce was married to Joseph in 1953. Joyce had a strong faith and relationship with God which sustained her throughout her life. She was very “common sense” person with a unique sense of humor. She was notably adventurous as a young woman.
Joyce loved reading before she lost her sight. Some of her other pleasures in life were gardening, homemade preserves, baking and home-cooked meals (learned to cook lots of German recipes) and handiwork like crocheting and knitting. Gramma will be deeply missed by her grandchildren.
Joyce and her family wish to thank all the staff at Mainprize Manor for the exceptional care and love they showed to Joyce and her family.
There will be a private family graveside at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens. The Come and Go Memorial Tea will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 2:30 p.m.- 4:30 p.m. at the Western Star All Suites Hotel, Estevan, SK. (303 Kensington Ave).
