    Mrs. E. "Joyce" Bryan

    May 26, 1931 - June 7, 2015

    Following a brief illness we said goodbye to our much loved Mom and Gramma. Joyce was born in Winnipeg to Albert and Maude Lunn. She spent her childhood and teen years there. In the early '50's she meet Stan Bryan on a Greyhound bus while traveling from Winnipeg to Toronto for work. They were married on April 17, 1953 after a month long engagement and her life's adventures truly began. Mom loved people and made many true and good friends as Dad's job took them to several northern towns. Many years were spent in Spirit River, AB where Mom was involved in all of our activities. She embraced the role of being our Mom and loved to include our friends. Joyce was always the first mother to volunteer. All were welcome to join her and there was lots of laughter. Upon retirement Mom and Dad spent several winters in Mexico, finally they settled in Innisfail, AB. Mom became involved with the food bank, quilting for the women's shelter and committees at the United Church. After Dad's passing she moved to Evergreen Retirement community in Calgary and then in June 2014 settled into Sunrise Village in High River. Mom continued to enjoy life; lunches out, drives with a view of the mountains, talking with distant friends on the phone, meeting newer friends in the Sunrise Bistro for coffee and befriending the resident dogs. Mom always said she had a wonderful life. Left behind to cherish her memory are her children; Lynne (Arnold) Lair of High River; Brenda Bryan of Winnipeg, MB; Heather (Sean) Sweeney of Victoria, BC; Neil Bryan of Edmonton, AB and Catrin Bryan of Kelowna, BC; her cherished grandchildren; Paul, Finn, Tess, Alexandra and Isobel; her sister Donna (Bill) Saunders of Calgary and her sister-in-law Jean Bryan of Innisfail; and many nieces and nephews. Joyce was predeceased by her husband of 57 years in 2010 and her brother George Lunn. The family would like to thank the staff on the 3rd floor of the High River Hospital for their compassionate care. As Mom wished, there will be no service. Please think of her, smile and share your laughter. Interment to take place in the Highwood Cemetery in High River at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to The Kidney Foundation of Canada or The War Amps of Canada. To send condolences and view Joyce’s Tribute Page please visit www.lylereeves.com .
