Joyce PRICE Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province on Apr. 19, 2014.

PRICE, Joyce (nee Culley)
January 23, 1925 – April 7, 2014
Joyce lived a very full life right up to her peaceful passing at Peace Arch Hospital, with family at her side. As a young girl, she grew up in Dunbar and attended Lord Kitchener and Lord Bing schools. Social times with her classmates were more important than her studies. At 19, Joyce married her best friend, Trevor. They spent 70 loving and adventurous years working, travelling and relaxing together. She was an artist in fabrics, music, and painting; specializing in 'life drawings'. Her family was brought up in Dunbar along with an ever- growing group of lifetime friends called the 'Mayfair Gang'. Joyce was active at Knox United Church and was the leader of the Hi-C Teen Group. In 1972 Joyce and Trev moved to South Surrey and much of her family followed soon after. She continued to excel humbly at painting, playing the organ, ukulele, spoons and singing in the Friday Friendship Choir. She loved to relax and socialize at 'Camp' on Freeman Beach, Pt. Roberts; eating crab, hunting for agates, enjoying sunsets on her deck and having her family enjoy the beach with her. Predeceased by her parents, Florence and Charles Culley; siblings, Lesley, Gordon and Erma. Joyce is survived by her husband, Trevor; her dog, Bonnie; sons, John (Bev), David (Anne); grandchildren, Jenni, Chris (Jacqueline), Will (Aynsley), Cassie and Lisa (Michael); great- grandsons Jacob, Owen and Jack; cousin, Bill Walsh; and nephew, Ted Culley. Joyce, Mom, Nanny, Great-nanny, we miss you and the joy you gave us. You are a model of a life well lived to all who met you. Celebration of Life will be held at the White Rock Baptist Church Friday, May 9 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Union Gospel Mission will be gratefully received.

I am so sad to know of Joyce passing. My connections with her go back almost 40 years. We lived close by in Ocean Park, had such exciting talks about a shared love of painting, and her many beautiful hobbies and interests. Joyce and Trevor and myself and husband seemed to have the same "taste" in a good meal out - and often! Our paths would frequently cross at local restaurants and give us a chance to catch up on happy times - and hear the latest about their beloved Bonnie.
Joyce was a dear, friendly and open lady who touched our hearts.

With Sincere Sympathy.

Patricia & Robert Smith.

Joyce was that type of person that would shine in a group of people. When I started to attend the Life Drawing group here in South Surrey a few years ago, she was one of the first to welcome me at coffee break. When she new I was from Chile,she would often come to me and ask about my family there, if I was missing them, how the country was doing... She was also interested about my life here in Canada, about my kids and grandchildren. She made me feel welcome and appreciated. She was always with a smile, unpretentiuos and also very sweet. I really missed her when she left the group not long ago.

My sincere sympathy to all Joyce's family. She was a great person and, I'm sure you are going to treasure great memories of her. I hope this will help to mitigate her loss.

Respectfully,
Adriana Molina.
