Joyce Eleanor Chant
(November 11, 1926 - September 11, 2019)
 
The family of Joyce Eleanor Chant announce her passing on September 11, 2019 at the age of 92 years. 

Joyce was born on November 11, 1926 to Cora and Abel Lyseng, the third child of eight. She spent her childhood on a farm in the Armena area. Joyce met and married Austin Chant in 1945. They spent most of their married life on the family farm just outside of Camrose with their four children. 

After Austin passed away, Joyce stayed on the farm for about three years and then decided to move into a mobile home in Camrose. She began to find it more difficult to live on her own so, in 2009, Joyce moved into Bethany Meadows where she remained until her passing.

Joyce always enjoyed singing and was a loyal choir member in her church for most of her adult life. She was also an active member of the Camrose Sweet Adelines chapter for several years. Joyce also loved her gardens. She took great pride in the proliferation of flowers and plants that she grew. 

For many years Joyce was a very active and involved member of the Ladies of The Loyal Order of the Moose reaching the position of Regent.

As time marched on, Joyce faced both declining physical health and advancing dementia with strength and determination. She was always a fighter and never gave up until she just couldn’t fight anymore.
 
Left to cherish her memory are her children Judy (Jeff) Voshell of Summerland B.C., Deanna (Lorne) Bragg of Ardrossan, and Greg Chant of Camrose; son-in-law George (Kelly) Jason of Ponoka; eleven grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; brother Gerald (Joyce) Lyseng; and sisters Marion Ostrem and Audrey Davis.
