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.
