Feb.15, 1927 – Aug.31, 2009
With much love and sadness we announce Mum’s passing suddenly at home. Survived by her children, Jennifer Ralph, Kevin, Vivien (Steve) Ellis, and Elaine (Henry) Len, brother David (Ann) Trodd, daughter-in-law Cathy, 15 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, two Brothers, nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends both here and in Europe. In heaven to meet her is her loving husband Derrick, parents, sons Robert and Kevin #1 and a brother and sister. She was previously involved with Job’s Daughters and an active member of Eastern Star #17. Joyce looked forward to her weekly excursions to play crib and carpet bowling, was an avid bowler for many years, and enjoyed doing crafts and dressmaking for others. Mum was the leader of the family and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her. Donations can be made in her honour to a charity of one’s choice.
Memorial service is at 1:00 pm on Friday, September 11, 2009 at McCall Bros. Floral Chapel, 1400 Vancouver St. Victoria BC. Reception to follow at the O.E.S. Hall 3281 Harriett Rd.

Mary Anne (Evans) Marchildon I was saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing…and really wanted to attend today…but could not. I wanted to touch base with you and say what I remember most about your Mom was her willingness to always serve. She always showed a positive outlook on things…and added so much to our Job’s Daughters years.
Kevin, Vivian & Elaine…I would have loved to have seen you and caught up! Hope you are all well and taking great care of each other at this time! I love this picture of your Mom!
Kevin…can’t leave without saying I still remember all the rides you gave me during our Demolay/Jobie days…especially the scary one down the small street by Govt. House on Rockland. Some things a person never forgets!
Thinking of you all!
Great regards, Mary Anne (Evans) Marchildon

Sorry, to read about your Mom’s passing. Losing a Mom is hard. Think about the good times and all the memories you have as you adjust to this new phase in your life. Take care. With sympathy. Wendy and Ken
