You will be fondly remembered for the fun and energy you brought to the line dances and various club activities and your generosity in hosting the dancers’ annual pot luck supper. You and Ron shared an enviable devotion to each other and a life well spent. You will be missed.

Nancy Morris, March 1, 2021

An absolutely special neighbour! We always knew when Joyce was out and about because of the wonderful smell of Estée Lauder perfume. She had many line dancing parties on the deck over looking the lake and could be found bobing in the lake on warm summer days. She loved the challenge of becoming a computer master. Will miss her humour and wit. All our love.

Deepest sympathies to Mrs. McGugans family! She had left quite an impression on our son after being partnered up with him for Interlink. I remember him saying She tells me to call her Nan! I said no problem, thats ok! Even after Interlink was over, for a period of time, she continued to send him special occasion cards in the mail. ( stickers included lol ). Sweet memories even though its been years. Condolences to all.
