Joy loved nothing better than to be surrounded by her family. Hard work, with a lot of fun mixed in, filled her days running North Hall Snack Bar with Dad. Some say she made the best cheeseburgers and shakes around. She was a supervisor on the lunch counter at Woolworth’s, a secretary, and ran the café at the Tillsonburg Community Complex. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, baking, making the best butter tarts by far, gardening, long walks, travelling and camping in her retirement years. It seemed our door was always open with Mom lending a hand and an ear to anyone who needed. Most of all she loved her grandbabies who always brought her so much joy. Mom, we will always love you and cherish the time we had with you, creating wonderful memories. Thank you to Tillsonburg Retirement Residence staff for taking good care of Mom and also to Dr. Holowachuk, along with Dr. Ijaz and 2nd floor nursing staff at TDMH showing care and compassion at a difficult time. Special thankyou to Kelly and Cheryl for all their caring support during Mom’s journey. A private family graveside service will be held in the spring. Donations to the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. Share memories or condolences at kebbelfuneralhome.com
