JOYCE GRAY

It is with great sadness, that we announce the passing of Joyce Gray (nee Thorsteinson) on March 6, 2020, at Grace Hospital.
Joyce was born in Selkirk, Manitoba and grew up on the farm at Husavik. Joyce is
survived by her three daughters, Colleen (Rob), Lynda, Diane (Ron), seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, Andres and Kathleen Thorsteinson.
Our mom loved to cook and entertain and plant her garden every year. She spent many hours knitting mitts for the less fortunate and was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it.
Mom was fortunate to live in a community where her neighbours became life-long friends.
We would like to thank the staff at Grace Hospital for their care and kindness to our mom. Also thank you to Dr. Bruce MacLeod for his care over the years.
As per Mom's wishes there will be no service.
