In Loving Memory of Joyce Madeline McBride (Boon)
1933 – 2023
Joyce died peacefully at the age of 90 on September 8, 2023 at Hyland Crest Minden, Ontario. She was raised in Toronto, along with siblings Ronald and Brenda, by parents Ambrose and Madeline Boon.
She was predeceased by her husband of over 50 years, Bill (William), and is survived by daughters Madeline (David), Mary (Denis), Marlene (Sandy), and Lorraine; and grandchildren Michel, Taylor (Camille), Heather (Jason), Elizabeth (Benton), Jack (Germain), Mackenzie, Connor (Shannon), and great-grandson Callum.
Joyce devoted her working and personal life to caring for people, pets and plants. During their time in Toronto, Quebec and Cornwall, Joyce and Bill made deep lasting friendships. Joyce was a devoted volunteer, focusing on food insecurity, as a literacy tutor, and in community outreach.
Some of Joyce’s many gifts included her magnificent singing voice, bridge playing skills, and chocolate chip cookie baking.
The family is profoundly grateful to the staff of Hyland Crest for the kindness and care given to Joyce.
