She leaves to survive her brothers Murray and Terry, sister-in-law Jean, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many close friends. She was predeceased by long-time friend Dennis, sister Eleanor, sister-in-law Dorothy, brother-in-law Brian, parents George Whitney and Emma, and most recently by sister Norma of Birmingham, England in November 2014. She started her working life as a teacher in Treherne, then Winnipeg and had fond memories of those years. She then worked in the health care industry and after that, at Searle Grain and Federal Grain in the Grain Exchange in Winnipeg. She was a kind, caring, thoughtful person who was always concerned for others. She was known in her apartment complex for taking care of and helping many people over the years. Her close friends there returned her kindness in her later years and she was proud to be able to live there until the age of 87. Cremation has taken place and interment will occur at a later date.

Joyce was wonderful and kind, a person who always helped others whenever and however she could. She was always thankful for anything someone did for her, no matter how small. She was a very special lady and will be missed by us and we are sure by all who knew her. Joyce's friendship and companionship to Denis will always be remembered by the Manaigre family. Our deepest condolences to the McConnell family. - Posted by: Mike Manaigre & Gayleen Haw () on: Jan 14, 2015
