She volunteered at the Canadian Cancer Society and canvassed for various organizations. Being a perfectionist made Joyce a very unique person. She lived life her own way. For those who were close, Joyce was a very loving, caring and giving person. We will miss her smile and humorous wit and great holiday gatherings.
