We were so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a great woman and will be missed by all those she touched. I have many fond memories of Aunt Joyce and times at the farm. With ten kids she always had room for one or two more at the table; how did she do it? Remember all the good times and cherish the memories .. it makes each day a little easier. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Condolence From: Karen & Randy Stanlake
I will miss popping in to visit Joyce. She had such a terrific sense of humour, and no matter how she felt, never lost that. She was a hard worker, and a great role model for her family. I will miss listening to how she “supervised” the girls and their quilting. Joyce will live on forever in the hearts of all who new her. She will be missed. Although we are today sad, we are happy she is at peace and no longer suffering.
Condolence From: Jim Robinson
Our thoughts are with the Willert family at this time. We knew Joyce as a good hard working woman. We always felt,and hoped,she would reach 100. She will be missed.
