Joyce Lorraine Rousseau, age 79 years, of Thunder Bay passed away November 23, 2015 at 1:35 p.m.  She was very comfortable with her family at her side. For the last year she resided at Dawson Court, 1 North.

We must thank each and every staff member who cared for mom. Her time there was made very special. Each day she was greeted with a smiling staff member, kind words, and many many hugs. Above all she was safe!

She is survived by her four children; Bruce (Sharon), Debra (Brian), Teresa (David) and Karen; her nine grandchildren Shannon, Kylee, Tamara, Zachary, Jarin, Justin, Michael, Ashlyn and Abby; her eight great grandchildren; Derion, Taryn, Thane, Griffin, Ethan, Brooklynn, Audrey and Michael; along with her sister Barb (Gene); and several nieces and nephews.

Mom worked for many years at Simpson Sears until she retired and relocated with dad to the west coast where she enjoyed numerous years exploring the beautiful city of Victoria. Mom and dad would walk for miles each day, taking delight in their lunches out. Golfing was a great passion, she could out golf almost everyone by playing 18 holes with dad then meeting up with the girls and going another 9 holes. Her talents didn't stop there; cooking, sewing, knitting, only to name a few. Parish work was equally important to both mom and dad. Visiting the sick was something they did together and found very rewarding!

While she will be greatly missed, she will never be forgotten. That funny little smile and laugh. Even though dementia had stolen your words, your smile let us know you were okay! The delight you took each time we got you a treat from your cupboard let us know this was another good day! We love you mom. 

Her final resting place will be with dad at Mountainview Cemetery. Together again and for always!

A private service will be held for immediate family at a later date.
