Joyce Houston, 89, passed away peacefully on Feb 9th, 2024 in Barrie Ontario, Born on December 27th, 1934, Joyce lived a full and vibrant life from beginning to end and touched the lives of many people along the way. Joyce had a dynamic twinkle in her eye and a lovely laugh during every conversation
When young Joyce lived in Holywood Northern Ireland with parents Doris and William along with her three siblings’ brothers Billy and Ted, and sister Patricia (Pat).
In High School she met the love of her life, Alex. They married in 1956 after a move to Toronto Ontario. Joyce and Alex lived in various locations throughout Ontario before settling in Barrie in 1983. They had three children – Glenn, Peter and David. Grandchildren include Chad, Jamie, Davida, Jordan, Thomas, Kyle, Charlotte, Shannon and Rheana and her great grandchildren. When she wasn’t tending to her garden, she was walking the neighbourhood bringing smiles and laughs to everyone she stopped to talk to.
Joyce is survived by her adoring Husband Alex.
The Family has held a private memorial service and hope all who new Joyce take a moment to say hello to folks out pushing their walkers. If you are lucky they will have the power to brighten the your day like Joyce did.
