It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joyce Spence, 66, of Murray Corner, NB, on Saturday, February 4, 2017. Joyce was born to the late Bessie and Percy Ferrish of Summerside PEI on September 4, 1950. Joyce was a caring woman who excelled in home care for other individuals in the area. She will always be remembered for her love to laugh. She took such joy from quilting with friends, cooking for her family, traveling to new and familiar places, and anything to do with her grandchildren. Mom always made you feel welcome in her home. She was loved by all and will be missed by everyone who knew her. She leaves behind her loving husband of 44 years, Lipton Spence; her children and their spouses, Carolyn (Venu) Spence, Richard (Sandra), and Janice (Noel) Sherwood; her grandchildren, Asha, Isabella, Jessica, Tristan and Katelyn; her siblings Eric (Diane) Ferrish, Marjorie (Rob) Geiss, Gordon (Christine) Ferrish, Darlene Ross, and Berla Ferrish; her mother in-law Vera (late Horace) Spence, her sister in-law Shirley Spence, her brother in-law Blair (Sally) Spence, and many other nieces, nephews, family and friends. Besides her parents, Joyce was predeceased by her daughter Tracy Lynn in 1990, and her brother Eldie Ferrish. Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 3 West Main Street, Port Elgin (506-538-2241). A time of remembrance will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Joyce can be made to the Friends of the Moncton Hospital, Extra Mural Services or a charity of the donor's choice. Sharing of memories and condolences may be sent to the family by visiting Joyce's online memorial at www.jonesfuneralhome.ca or through the Jones Funeral Home Facebook Page.
