She is survived by her children, Cathy Purvis (Norm), Brent, Larry (Bonnie) and Ray (Tina), one brother-in-law, Hazen Carpenter, and several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Joyce was the second eldest of Hughie and Myrtle Hamilton and grew up in Canterbury, NB. She graduated in 1950 then attended Mount Allison University in pursuit of a career in business. She married Orlie in 1953 and settled in Woodstock. They worked and played side-by-side most of their married life until Dad succumbed to complications of influenza in 2005.

In addition to the Manor staff, our family wishes to acknowledge the excellent care provided by the staff in the ER and 4NE wing of the DECH.
