It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Joyce Daschuk on May 19, 2023, at the age of 78 years.

Joyce enjoyed gardening from planting in the spring, and taking care of it throughout the summer, to harvest in the fall. She also looked forward to pickling and canning once the garden was off. She loved taking care of her flowers, her favorite were Lollipop Lilies. Her fondest memories were spending time with grandchildren, teaching them to make perogies, cabbage rolls and various soups. Everyone enjoyed eating them.
