In accordance with Joyce’s wishes a private family service has been held
and Joyce laid to rest at the Memorial Park Cemetery, Gladstone.
Hello Avis, very sorry to read of your sister, Joyce’s passing. It’s a very sad time no matter the age or circumstances. My sister, Edith, passed away last march at age 92. I’m sure they would have gone to school together. We have been so lucky to have had them in our lives for all of our lives.
Thoughts are with you, Florence Gunn (nee Waters)
