In memory of dear Joyce from Phil and Lesley xx

I have very fond memories of Joyce, very kind to everyone nothing was too much trouble. She had a fantastic sense of humour, very quick witted, a very clever lady. She will be sadly missed by all the family. Rest in peace xxx

Living next door to Joyce (and Fred) for many years was a pleasure. Always a story to tell and a natter over the garden fence. Well more of a marathon than a natter because dear Joyce could talk and talk and talk . We loved her for it. Her warmth and openness was such a welcome when we first moved in many years ago. In later years I recall her still off down the road to see her sister and putting others first. She loved her bowling and kept fit by marching down the road at a gallop rather than a walk. It was sad to see her get frail however we will remember those good memories of a strong person with dancing eyes and an air of mischief about her.

I have so many memories of Mom from her lifetime where she would do pretty well anything for the happiness of the family.
So once this Covid-19 lock down is all over when it's OK to travel and everyones lives are getting back to normal,we will try and arrange a meeting of the family to celebrate her life.

Sadly, as we are in the midst of the lock down for the Covid-19 pandemic it means that many of the family are not able to travel, especially those living abroad, so Moms funeral will be unattended at the Bretsby Crematorium on 7th May 2020.
As we will not be attending the funeral it is requested that, instead of flowers, we donate to NHS Charities Together that distributes its funds to the combined local charities that support the hard working NHS teams who are so valued, especially at this time.
