Anna Bertagnolli:
I’m saddened to hear of Joyce’s passing. I had the honour of knowing her and working with her for many years. She was the last of the original museum pioneers who, together came up with a vision to start the old museum. Forty years on, Joyce still kept their visions alive in the new museum. She never stopped working to make the museum a place of historical value and preservation and was still actively involved right up until the end. Her contributions and years of dedication resulted in what today is a beautiful museum that unites Rocky’s past with its future. Joyce was forthright and always said it like it was and there was no misunderstanding in what she meant. She had a sense of humour and shared many stories and her knowledge of the past came in handy many times. Her generosity was evident in her baking, visiting sick friends and playing the piano for appreciative audiences. She was a remnant of the old fashioned ways and believed that hard work and perseverance is how you got things done, something to be admired. She will be greatly missed but her presence will be forever felt. My heartfelt condolences to her family and your shared memories will keep Joyce forever a part of your lives. Happy trails, Joyce.
