Joy Tobin Obituary
December 28, 1923 - February 28, 2013
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear Mom and Grandma. She died peacefully at the age of 89 surrounded by her loving family. Predeceased by her husband Reg and her brother George, Mom will be greatly missed by her daughter Carol (Barclay), her son George and his wife Annette. She will also be lovingly remembered and missed by her grandchildren Steve, his wife Kerrie, Andrew, Mathew and her great grandchildren Kennedy and Harlin. Our sincerest thanks to the staff of Royal City Manor, Royal Columbian Hospital and Richmond General Hospital for their caring support during a very difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations to the SPCA, Ducks Unlimited, or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, March 16 at 2:00 pm, your presence will be welcome. Please contact Carol or George if you wish to attend.
You are now singing with the Angels, we love you.
