Joyce Fisher of Riverview, 77, passed away peacefully on July 21, 2016 at The Moncton Hospital after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Raised in Moncton, she was predeceased by her mother, Marjorie Rawline, who she adored, and her father, Gordon Rawline, both of Moncton, NB.
Joyce had a very sharp mind and a quick wit. In her early years, Joyce worked for the Bank of Nova Scotia where she was beloved by her clients and coworkers. Once motherhood arrived, she stayed home to raise her children into early adulthood. She was a loving mother and ran an immaculate and very organized household. During those years, she was involved with the Bridgetown Theatre group, Bathurst Kinette club, Girl Guides of Canada, and the Riverview bowling league. Later, she greatly enjoyed working for Instore Focus, and treasured the many people she met as a result.
She mostly enjoyed quiet times, loving music, especially "Elvis", walks in the park, needlework, reading, scrapbooking and puzzles of any kind, the more challenging, the better. She also enjoyed spending summers at the cottage in Shediac with her family. She worked wonders in the kitchen. No one can beat her apple pie, a skill she most recently passed onto her husband, for all of us to continue to enjoy.
She will be sadly missed by her loving husband, Gerald (Bud) of Moncton NB; son Brian, his wife Lori and their children, Erin and Kevin of Moncton NB; son Dean, his wife Louiseann and their children Haley and Kyle, of Mississauga, ON; and daughter Sharon (Lewis), her partner Paul, her children Scott and Jenna and their father, Kevin, all of Moncton, NB.
She is also survived by two step sisters, Diane Rawline Linton and Lynne Rawline O’Connor Connell, one brother-in-law, Layton Fisher, and several nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her sister-in-law, Jean Fisher (nee Anthony).
You meant the world to us and always will.
