Joyce adored all animals and had a special place in her heart for her cat, Snoopy. She was a chocoholic and you were always guaranteed to find a stash of bars or candy in her room. She loved music and played the organ at West River United Church and St. Stephen’s United Church in Alma for countless years. "Her song has ended but her melody lingers on..."
She will be deeply missed by by her only child, Cheryl Anderson (Ron) of Alma; granddaughters, Shannon Anderson of St. John’s NL and Morgan Anderson of Moncton; step-grandson, Chris Anderson of Dennis Beach. She will also be missed by all her friends at Fundy Royal Manor.
