So nice to have known Joyce many years ago through selling crafts at the Wakefield Craft Fair. Talented with her variety of crafts. My respect and sympathy to you all in your loss.

Joyce was a friend going back to days shared at Golden Downs,
and one of the most generous, kind and caring souls I have ever known. She was a great companion to her late husband Mouri, and a superb Mother. I would like to also note Joyce was a gifted artist, so has pieces of her work in collections around the world.
I am so pleased I got to see her back in January when I was travelling through Nelson!
My blessings and love go out to all the family
With all my love and heartfelt sympathy

I'm very sorry for your loss. Joyce being the daughter of Aunty Bertha, whose sister was my grandmother Mary Ward. (Molly Currie). I remember if correct you lived in the Golden Downs village and we use to swim in the river. My mother Sylvia Morgan was Joyce's cousin.
