Joyce Worsfold
June 11, 1946 to January 22, 2022
Daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandma, friend
Joyce was born Mary Joyce Warner in Edmonton, Alberta to Audrey and Herron Warner. She was a shy little girl, who always had a cat by her side. Her lifelong friend Gail has been with her since before they remember. Joyce met the love of her life, Bernie, when she was 16 years old working her first job waitressing in Jasper, Alberta. Joyce returned to Tofield, AB until she graduated from high school. She then moved to Edmonton, AB where she and her best friend Gail took jobs. Joyce and Bernie were married soon after and then moved to Jasper, Alberta. It was then onto to Kamloops where Joyce lived until her death. All 4 of her sons were born in Kamloops and were most loved by Joyce. They were a rambunctious lot, which kept Joyce on her toes. Whether it was camping trips, vehicle repairs, trains, or curling, she was always there to look the other way when the boys were up to no good. They called her “Ma” and told her to “Settle down.” She was the first aid nurse and Bernie was the disciplinarian. Along came daughters in-law, which was a new experience for Joyce as she was the youngest of 5 children, being the only girl, and as she and Bernie had raised 4 boys together. She welcomed these new “daughters” with open arms. Grandkids were the next joy in her life as she got to experience being a kind and patient Nana and grandma. With retirement, Joyce was able to indulge her travel bug and a long-awaited hobby of quilting. The quilts she made are exquisite and made with love and to her exacting precision. With quilting she was able to be involved with Community Quilts through the Sagebrush Quilters Guild and share her beautiful work with many people in the Hospital and Community.
She was predeceased by her parents Herron Warner and Audrey McHeffey, her brothers Dick, Bill, and Roy Warner and her son Dan Worsfold.
She is survived by her brother Gordon Warner, her husband of 56 years Bernie Worsfold, sons Neil (Cyndi); grandchildren Courtenay and Garrett, Ted (Laura), Jeff (Shannon); grandchildren Brendan and Sara and Rosie Caputo, mother of grandchild Andrew, lifelong friend Gail Ozubko, and many quilting friends including Marg, Cheryl and Brenda.
In memory of Joyce, donations would be greatly appreciated to the Sagebrush Quilters Guild for Community Quilts. Box 392, Kamloops, BC, V2C 5K9 This was a project near and dear to Joyce as they provide handmade quilts for many people receiving medical care.

Remember “To always check the pockets” and “Keep the scraps, you may be able to get a 2” square out of it”
