Joyce was born in Winnipeg on June 30, 1933, to Florence and Samuel Sipley. She graduated from Daniel McIntyre Collegiate in Winnipeg and soon after met the love of her life George Nelson at a community dance.
After marriage, George and Joyce built a new home in Westwood where they raised their family and made many lifelong friends. They had 47 wonderful years together until George’s passing in 2002. Over the years Joyce was involved in many activities with both young and old. She spent several years volunteering at the RWB’s Things Shop; active member with Toastmistress group; member at Breezy Bend Country Club; enjoyed many years playing bridge with the girls; loved gardening and everything flowers. Joyce enjoyed spending time at the family cottage in Ponemah and at her brothers Caddy Lake cottage.
