Joyce MARKS Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joyce Marks (nee Hillier) on May 3, 2020 after a short illness at the age of 83. Beloved and devoted wife of Ken for 58 years. Loving mother of Ken (Janet) Marks of Whitby and Pam (Don) Schonewille of St. Catharines. Cherished Nana to Bradley, Kaleigh, Abby and Aidan. Loving sister to Beverly (late Bruce) Williamson and Sharon (Bruce) Vollick. Predeceased by her grandchildren Megan and Jared. Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her many nephews, nieces, cousins and dear friends. Joyce was born, raised and spent her life in St. Catharines. She was a faithful lifetime member of St. George's Anglican Church. She was involved in the Bishop Beattie, Women's Executive Board and was a Sunday School Teacher. An active volunteer in the community, Joyce received the St. Catharines Volunteer Recognition award for her contributions. Joyce worked at the Royal Bank of Canada for many years beginning at age sixteen. Friends and family were of the utmost importance to Joyce. She loved family gatherings on the patio or at Queenston Heights, our Christmas Eve celebration, Sunday dinners or visits with friends and neighbours. Joyce always put others before herself and made everyone feel like family. A special thank you to the 3B nursing staff at the St. Catharines Hospital for their care and compassion. According to her wishes cremation has taken place. When we can be together again a Celebration of Life will be held at St. George's Anglican Church. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to St. George's Anglican Church https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/25209 or to the Rankin Cancer Run https://www.rankincancerrun.com/ Arrangements entrusted to the HULSE & ENGLISH FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 75 Church Street, St. Catharines (905-684-6346).

My sincerest condolences go out to the family. I always loved to have a short chat with Joyce whenever I was at Ina Grafton Gage in the hair salon and of all the memories we shared when I worked at St. George's Church. She is now at peace.

I was Ken jr softball coach at the Grantham Optimist club. That is where I met Ken sr. and Joyce. They were the nicest parents and very supportive of Ken and the whole team. Over the years I have run into them several times. They were always willing to say hello and talk for a few minutes.
