JOYCE LORRAINE WALDNER
Date of Passing: Dec 19, 2012
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOYCE LORRAINE WALDNER Peacefully at the Grace Hospital on Wednesday, December 19, 2012, at that age of 81, Mom went home to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Mom was born January 31, 1931, at Selkirk, Manitoba and married John, the love of her life, on June 10, 1950. Left to cherish her memory are her sons Jonathan and Gregory, her grandchildren Brenda, Michelle, Kyle, Michael, Steven, Dakota and Kacey and her great-grandchildren Aurora, Braxton, Damien and Aiden. She also leaves her sister Betty, brother Jim and brother-in-law Howard as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Mom joins love ones that she cherished: her husband John, her mother and father, her sister Joan, her brother-in-law Ron and many other family members and friends. Mom was 18 years of age when she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. At that time she prayed to God to give her the courage and ability to reach others for Christ. This was truly one of the gifts she was blessed with. Shortly after she became a Christian she started a Sunday School in the basement of her mom and dad's home, then on Royal Road which later moved to the Charleswood Legion and evolved into Charleswood Temple still here today. Over the years Mom was involved with many other ministries including the Lighthouse Mission, Red Rock Bible Camp, 101 Marion Street, Teen Challenge and Oakview Extendicare. Mom had a life long passion for music and made appearances on Calvary Temple Faith to Live By. She went on to make two records in a trio with Bernice and Doreen Giesbrecht and was a soloist at many weddings and funerals throughout her life. Mom worked at Willows and other Restaurants in Charleswood before moving on to a career in banking. She worked at BMO and eventually finished her banking career at the Royal Bank of Canada. Mom loved to entertain, cook, bake and was a great hostess. Much to our surprise one Christmas Mom had many members of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet over for dinner. She also enjoyed traveling to visit her family in Manitoba, Alberta and Texas. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7, 8. While we lived a distance apart from our mom countless family members and friends were here to help and comfort her. We would like to express our gratitude and give special thanks to her sister Betty Unger, Helen Kelbert, Barb Lashley, Jules Selymes as well as our cousins' and friends for all of their love, patience and hard work. A celebration honoring our mom's life is planned for Thursday, December 27 10:00 a.m. at Immanuel Pentecostal Church, 955 Wilkes Ave., Winnipeg, MB with Pastor Scott Bullerwell officiating. Interment to follow at Balsam Bay, MB, with Pastor Ron Hampton officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Immanuel Pentecostal Church. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com

Today I had this weird desire to go through my old wedding stuff and seeing that it’s June 10, 2020, I guess she is watching over me... or at least praying for me up in heaven as we all know that’s where she went :) as I found our guest book that she gave my husband and inside was a small little plaque I never noticed before that reads “John and Joyce Walden’s 1950-2000”. Joyce was such an amazing person with a beautiful heart. I remember having the pleasure going to her place and helping walk with her around her apartment floor while we prayed. Although we had a huge age gap, I always considered her one of my best friends... and most likely always will. - Posted by: Jana Hoeschen (Friend) on: Jun 10, 2020

You were always there for me when I needed someone to talk to and you were always in my heart. You were the best cook and baker I ever known. I love you so much grandma. - Posted by: Steven Waldner (Grandson) on: Jan 31, 2013

I lived with Joyce my first year living in the city to attend the University of Manitoba (2003/2004). She was an amazing woman! So full of life and song. I attended several of the services that she led at Oakview Place, and you could see how much she loved our Lord. - Posted by: Jana Brawner (Friend) on: Jan 10, 2013

We had many memorable times with Joyce when she came over or we paid her a visit at her Charleswood Home. Gave my testimony once at her meetings...to many other things to mention. RIP which she will be meeting her husband John and sharing in all the things she accomplished after he had gone on. - Posted by: Bill & Dorie Giesbrecht (FRIEND) on: Jan 06, 2013

My sincerest condolences go out to Greg and Jonathan and the rest of Joyce's family. You are in my prayers every day. I'd known Joyce for just a few years, but I was sure from the moment we met that she was a Godly, saintly woman. I know how much she loved her Lord, and I will be forever grateful to her for helping me on my own path to knowing Him. Praise God that she is with him now, and He has delivered her from pain. Amen, Joyce, Mike Budd - Posted by: Mike Budd (Friend) on: Dec 29, 2012

I will always think of Joyce as being one that just loved to talk about the Lord whom she loved. I will remember her singing. I hope and pray that you all will experience many wonderful memories of your mom. Sorry to have missed the funeral - my thoughts are with you. - Posted by: Joy Klassen (Thomas) (cousin) on: Dec 27, 2012

Our families sincere condolences to aunt Joyce's family as we too feel your sadness during your time of loss. I (Ruben) remember a few occasion visiting with your mom and my uncle John on a few occassions. Your mom indeed was a true hostess and we enjoyed our visits with her and uncle John, your late dad. Your mom was a spiritual trooper and always expressed joy to the people around her. A very warm hearted person and auntiee. We are keeping you and your family lifted in prayer at this time that God' spirit will be your comfort and the promises of God's word will be a source of hope to you and the whole family. On behalf of my siblings, Bertha, Sam, Martha, Wollmann and step mom Dorothy Wollmann and their families. Greg and Johnathan and your families-Wishing you God's peace and comfort at this time of loss. May you always keep your mom's legacy of faith ever living in your lives.
