She was predeceased by her parents, Martha and Paul Thun. Joyce worked for 25 years as Secretary to the President of Canadian Nazarene College which later became Ambrose University. Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years. They were soul-mates who did everything together. This summer they celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary in Winnipeg with all five of their children and spouses and several grandchildren. Joyce loved her children and grandchildren dearly and would often just sit back and watch everyone interacting, having fun, and delighting in the fact that everyone got along so well. She was so proud of each and every one of them. Her beautiful smile and kind and loving nature will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Joyce was everyone's sweetheart. She is now in heaven with her Lord whom she faithfully worshiped all her life. A celebration of Joyce's life will be held on Sunday, November 16, 2:00 p.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, those who so desire, may make a donation to Siloam Mission or Ambrose University. THOMSON "IN THE PARK" 204-925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com
