Remembering Joyce Marion Munro (nee Craske)

It is with great sorrow that the Munro family announces the death of our beloved Joyce.  She leaves a family who will greatly miss her and cherish her memory.  Dearly loved wife of John C.C. Munro for sixty-four years (and the late Norman Fitton, Pilot Officer, deceased 1944).  Her children Heather (Gordon Gauthier), and Bruce (Sheila), forever Nana to her grandchildren Sarah E. Gauthier of Wellington, New Zealand, Michelle Gauthier of Cornwall, Courtney Munro (Rob Calvert), Jordan Munro (Melissa), and Ashley (Kevin Haire).  Her grandchildren were her treasures and her delight.  Loving great Nana Joyce to her great granddaughter Maeve Gauthier, and great grandsons Jack Munro and Ethan Calvert.  Beloved sister of Amy Stone, Kingston; predeceased by her brother Alfred Craske, and her sister Elizabeth Riggall both of England.  Beloved aunt of Elizabeth Hewitt, Ruth Sorsby, and Paul Craske of England; Robert (Heather), Michael, and Jeffery Stone of Kingston.  She was intelligent, sometimes formidable, leavened always by a wonderful warmth and sense of humour, and she was to the end stoic and dignified.  Joyce spent her final years in Midland near John, who fought for her comfort and dignity until her last day.  She lived every day with grace and purpose.  She was loyal, supportive and patient, a role model for all.  Family and friends will be received at Carson Funeral Homes – JH Lynn Chapel, 290 First Street, Midland (705) 526-6551 on Monday June 10, 2013 from 11:30 AM until the time of Funeral Service celebrated in the chapel at 1 o’clock.  Internment to follow at St. Mark’s Anglican Cemetery, Midland.  Memorial donations in lieu of flowers to the Salvation Army or St. Mark’s Anglican-Lutheran Church would be appreciated by the family if desired.
