Joyce KYI Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 4, 2010.
October 16, 1932 - November 1, 2010. Joyce went home to be with her Heavenly Father on November 1, 2010. She was predeceased by her devoted husband of 52 years, Tin Maung Kyi. She is survived by her daughter Moe, her son Min and his wife Tanya, and her grandchildren Julia and Matthew. Joyce spent much of her life as the executive director of the Immigrant Services Society, working to settle newcomers in Canada. She spent her retirement doting on her grandchildren and joyfully hosting her family and friends. The Kyi family extends thanks to the community health and VGH palliative care staff who helped to make Joyce's final days comfortable. A Memorial service will be held at Valley View in Surrey at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 5th. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. We cherish our memories of Joyce: her love, dedication, and service.
