Ms. D. Joyce Christian
March 11, 1940 - October 7, 2014
Joyce Christian (nee: France) passed away peacefully at home, as was her wish. She will be most remembered by all, as loving, compassionate, supportive, generous and kind. She faced all life’s challenges with grace and courage, including her illness. Joyce was an exceptional fibre artist, a jazz and blues musician and patron, an animal lover, an outstanding cook and creator of splendid gardens. She appreciated all that is beautiful and romantic. Mom had a dry sense of humour befitting her English ancestry and was the sparkle at every party. She loved to dance, travel, fish, swim and shop. A lifelong fondness for elders; she cared for the most vulnerable in India and Canada. She will be forever honored, loved and greatly missed by her daughter Kimberly, sons Kevin (Shannon) and Jeffrey (Rose); her grandchildren Krystal, Todd, Sunra, Sheri and their families. Her many friends who love her dearly are in our thoughts with gratitude. She is predeceased by her loving husband John Christian; her parents Annie and Willy France, as well as her birth mother and father Dorothy Lozecki and Harold France. The family wishes to thank the Rural Palliative Care Consult Service and the High River Integrated Home Care for their extraordinary care and respect. Memorial donations in memory of Joyce may be made to The High River District Health Foundation (Home Care) 560 – 9th Ave. SW, High River, AB, T1V 1B3. At Joyce’s request no service will be held.
