BROWN, Joy Florence
Joy Florence Brown was born in Selkirk, Manitoba, April 2, 1925. She died peacefully Wednesday morning, January 6, 2016. Her parents were the late Pastor and Mrs. P.G. Biy of Oshawa, Ontario. She met her husband of 30 years while attending Kingsway College, and lived in Oshawa before eventually heading to California to support her husband throughout his medical training at Loma Linda. During this time she worked as a legal secretary. After returning to Canada, her husband began his medical practice in Toronto, and Joy began raising their family. She was active with the Loma Linda Alumni, was an avid bowler, loved life at the cottage, seldom walked away from a scrabble game she did not win, and was devoted to her children’s education and her home. She was the loving mother of Rhonda Taylor and Lora Horsley and was devoted to her grandchildren, Thomas, Lauren and Brooks. Her spirited personality will be lovingly remembered and missed by many. A memorial service will be held at the Kingsway Pioneer Apartments, 1250 King Street East, Oshawa, on Saturday, January 9th, 2016 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations made in memory of Joy to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region would be appreciated and may be made through McINTOSH-ANDERSON-KELLAM FUNERAL HOME LTD., 152 King Street East, Oshawa (905-433-5558).
