We are sad to announce the passing of Joyce Ethel Boucher on September 21, 2024. She was 78 years of age.
Joyce grew up in Thunder Bay, ON where she met Dick Beadle. Joyce and Dick were married on January 3, 1966 and moved to Atikokan, ON where they had their three children. In 1980, they moved to the Crowsnest Pass, AB. Joyce made many friends while cooking at several restaurants throughout the community.
After Joyce and Dick went their separate ways, she found a second chance at love with Raj Tayal in August 1996. Joyce went on to be a Reiki master embracing the spiritual world and natural healing, often spending her free-time reading cards and tea leaves.
Joyce brought out the best in everyone. She did things her way, never following the path of others. Her strong will and passion for life will be greatly missed.
Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life is her life-partner, Raj Tayal; her daughters, Tracy (Bobby) McClain and Barb (Richard) Ellison; her beloved grandchildren, Tyler, Dusty, Chris, Ryan, Dale, Brittani, Kirsten, Riley, Mark and Makayla; her cherished great-grandchildren, Sophia, Lily, Sarah, Rex, Paisley, Georgia, Emmalee, Beau, Hunter, Joey and Colter; her sisters, Bernice (George), Gail, Shirley and Lenore; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents, Lillian and Leonard Boucher; and her son and daughter-in-law, Rick and Janet Beadle.
With respect for Joyce’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by The Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
