Joyce Good Obituary
Good, Joyce Patricia
Passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at the age of 93 years. Beloved wife of the late Willard Good (2020). Cherished mother of Heather and Mike Aguiar, Roger and Sue Good, and her deeply loved late son Robin Good (1969). Proud grandmother of Michael and Justin Aguiar; Zachary, Hannah and Scott Good. Lovingly remembered by her sister Anne Vanderkooi (Atze) of Nanaimo, BC and many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by her parents Tolbert and Thelma (Sanderson) MacMonagle and her siblings Robert Edward MacMonagle (2008), Ione Yeo (2013) and June O’Hara (2020).
Our dear mother was a lover of nature and all animals, artwork, classical music, poetry and literature. A deeply intelligent woman who read voraciously throughout most of her life, her curiosity and insightful understanding of many topics inspired her family to always be curious and embrace life -long learning. Mom faced many challenges throughout her life, accepting them all with grace, and modeled for us the strength, tenacity and resilience to embrace when faced with adversity.
Thank you mom for your wisdom and support to your children and grandchildren throughout our lives. Your unique parenting style was never directive but always supportive, encouraging us all to choose our own best paths that embraced change, personal growth and always compassion for others. We are also very thankful that both of our parents instilled a faith-based childhood and we have fond memories of family church camp at Golden Lake. We will miss you Mom and will lovingly remember you always.

“Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning rush, I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.”
