Joyce Mildred Wallace was born to Jessie and James Wallace at Grace hospital, now BC Women’s Hospital, on April 20, 1944. She passed away peacefully at Victoria General hospital on April 28, 2024.
As well as being a single parent, she dedicated her working life to helping people. As a working person Joyce was driven, empathetic, and intelligent. As a parent and grandparent she was caring, involved and always ready to provide support. She found retirement challenging, but filled her time with pets, activities, hobbies (especially quilting), reading, and travel. She affected people’s lives deeply and for the better, without any expectation of reciprocity.
Joyce was predeceased by one brother. She left behind two brothers and a sister, two sons and a daughter-in-law, and three grandsons.
Her family wishes to thank the staff at Sunset Lodge in Victoria
