We as a family are saddened to announce that after a short illness with cancer, Joyce Barton sadly passed away on the 19/07 at 1:24am, surrounded by her husband Paul and their six boys.
She devoted her life and love to her family, and those closest to her. She made anyone and everyone who came across her path, feel welcomed, loved, provided guidance when they needed it, and an ear to listen when they needed it the most, no matter what, never judged.
You never said I’m leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why
A million times we’ve needed you,
A million times we’ve cried.
If love alone could’ve saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home
A lovely photo of Joyce. This was taken of Joyce by me when we were saying a final goodbye with all staff of Woolston school just before Oasis took over
