I first met Joy in the mid '70's, because of our mutual passion for scuba diving. Not only was she a terrific, fun-loving lady, but also a capable and trust worthy dive partner. As others have said, she loved the water, being just as comfortable under as well as on it's surface.
She was game for anything to do with scuba - exploring the underwater chasms of Deer Island Point, tinkering about the shipwrecks of Cape Breton, P.E.I., and Halifax harbour, shelling scallops in an open boat in January (Joy could shuck with the best of 'em) , or just posing for photos with whatever fish that happened to be swimming by.
And that laugh. I'll never forget that laugh.
So long, my friend.
Condolences to Cathy and all of Joy's family. John Humphrey

Dear Michael, James and Family. So very sorry to hear of your beautiful mom’s passing. I remember Joy and your dad visiting our family home many years ago Mike you were just a little boy and they would lovingly call you Michael Sean. . Joy was a lovely lady with so much grace and a beautiful smile. Your dad (my first cousin) was taken far far too young and she is finally back with him again. Sending Love and sincere condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss Mike and Jim. Your mother was always so pleasant to talk to and would always catch me up a little anytime I'd run into her at the grocery store etc. Such a wonderful and kind lady indeed.

So quiet. So beautiful. So adventurous and intelligent beyond words. A lifetime friend to me and my sister, Sue, beginning at the age of 6. Always devoted to her family and so very proud of her sons and grandchildren. Joy and Sue were in a terrible accident on Bayside Drive shortly after graduating from SIMONDS. A fun night at Randy’s turned so tragic. Both girls took a year plus to fully recover, but oh the good times they hosted from their mutual hospital room. So many fellow students and grads spent many hours in that room with Joy’s crazy laughter bringing in the nurses to quiet things down! May you be blessed in heaven Joy with the presence of Mike and your family that have passed before you. No doubt, Sue was there to with a huge hug. RIP - sending love and condolences to all who had the pleasure of knowing Joy and sharing life. Marie (Mitchell) Peacock

Jack, Calvin, Cathy, Glen and Liz,
My condolences on the loss of your beautiful sister. As someone who was at your home at a young age she was to me strikingly beautiful not only on the outside but inside to.. I loved her laugh and smile. I would meet Mary and Joy at the market, there was always a smile and a giggle. We talked about kids and things that happened on Grandview Avenue. Always a big laugh about situations that happened on the Avenue. She will be missed so much by all who knew her. Joy was a perfect name, because that is what she brought to people. Thinking of all her family at this difficult time.
