Joyce Wood

Our beloved Mother, Joyce Wood, passed away peacefully on her own terms with her family by her side in Prince George, BC on June 6th, 2020. Joyce was 16 when she met John Murphy, they dated for 6 years, then married in 1958. They had two children Cathy Murphy & George Murphy. Their marriage ended after 29 years of marriage. Joyce opened a new chapter in her life. Joyce met Allan in 1987 and they married in 2000. They were together for 30 blissful years before Allan passed away in 2017. They loved to travel with their friends in the RV and enjoyed sitting by a lake.   Joyce and Allan were both active members in the Senior games where they competed in Carpet bowling and won two Gold and Silver Medals.

Joyce was dedicated throughout her life to different organizations such as the Royal Purple, being honored last year with her 50-year pin. She had served twice as a President of the Royal Purple, and President for the L.A. of the Legion, she was a member of Eastern Star. Mom had a lot of fun in the Red Hatters.

  Joyce was a very elegant, classy, well-respected lady who was always upbeat, fun to be with, and was very outgoing and loved life to the fullest. Where ever she went excitement followed. Mom’s passion was music whether it would be dancing, singing in choirs, playing the piano, accordion, and guitar. Joyce loved watching her audience get up to dance while she played piano. Her family was an important part of her life. She will be forever missed.  Joyce leaves behind her Daughter Cathy Murphy, Son George Murphy (Laura), Twin Brother Bob Scott(Vera), Half Brother Cliff Scott, many nieces & nephews. Grandchildren Jodi (Mike), Blaine (Amber), Michael, David, and Great Grandchildren Ethan, McKayla, Teagan, Kaylie, and Brinley.  Joyce was predeceased by her husband Allan, sister Helen, and brothers Dennis, Bud, and Jim.
