21/11/1932 - 26/08/2025

Passed away peacefully in the arms of her loving family.

Our hearts are broken and tears flow freely, but we are comforted in the knowledge that Joyce is now reunited with her beloved husband of 70 years, James (Jim).

Joyce's family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to manager Helen and all the staff at Cheadle Manor who made the final chapter of Joyce's life so wonderful. The professionalism, dedication, care, love and attention Joyce received at Cheadle Manor went above and beyond. Cheadle Manor was Joyce's home. Thank you.

Joyce was a character with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, hilarious at times and also straight talking, as staff members discovered on occasions.

Staff members who Joyce really warmed to were Helen, Claire, Kelly, Jo, Angie, Amy, Craig and Felix.

But three members of staff found their way into Joyce's heart and were classed as family, Paige, Sammy and Sophie.

The family will never forget how, in their own time away from work, they volunteered and aided Joyce at a family wedding to relieve the family of care concerns for Joyce and when Joyce was receiving palliative care, they came after working hours to visit Joyce, to express their feelings and to say one final goodbye. A moment Joyce's family will never forget and will forever appreciate.

Joyce's funeral will take place on Tuesday 23rd September at 10.45am in the Rowan Chapel at Stockport Crematorium.

Always in our prayers and thoughts.

Your Loving Family xxx
