Special thank you to the staff of Leacock Care Centre for their excellent support, patience and everyday care of Joyce during her final years. It eased our hearts to know she was safe. Thanks also to the PSWs who came to her apartment. Joyce was an avid seamstress in her youth. She and Ken loved dancing and in their later years, square dancing. They both loved their cottage on the Gull River and spent weekends and holidays there. They loved spending winters in Florida where they also enjoyed dancing. Joyce took, as well as gave, craft lessons. She took oil painting classes in Florida and painted pictures for family and friends, something she had always wanted to do. As per Joyce’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no visitation or service. Family will gather together to remember her passing and celebrate her life.
