EMOREY

, Joyce Marie (Corkum), 67, Of Melville Lodge, Formerly of Dartmouth, passed away July 26, 2014 with her two sisters by her side. She was the daughter of Ivy Crawford, Wentworth, formerly of Petite Riviere, and the late Lawson Corkum, Petite Riviere. Joyce was an outdoors girl and loved to work in the barn and around the animals, and she enjoyed hunting and fishing. During the last year, she didn’t dwell on being sick with cancer, but was determined to get up everyday and enjoy the things she loved. She loved to read her magazines on the Royal Family and keep up to what was going on in the movie world. She fought with determination and a lot of strength, and no matter how tired she was, she still wanted to be taken out to one of her favorite places to eat, at least three times a week. She had a very keen mind and never forgot anyone’s name and could tell you everything about someone she knew. She knew so much about so many subjects that she used to tell things that would surprise anyone who was listening. She was always thinking of others and was more concerned about someone else’s health, rather than her own. Surviving are her sisters Ruby Oickle (Gordon Ryan), Reta Roy, both of Bridgewater, Beverley Organ (Frank): brother Willie Corkum (Ruthann Richardson), both of Truro; former husband Jack Emorey; four Nephews, three Nieces. She was predeceased by her brothers Alton Corkum; niece Judith Oickle. There will be no visitation at the Funeral Home. Memorial Service will be held 1:00pm Sunday in St. Michael’s Anglican Church, Petite Riviere, Rev. Oliver Osmond Officiating. Interment in the Parish Cemetery. Family flowers only. Memorial Donations may be made to SHAID Animal Shelter or the Charity of your choice. Cremation has taken place under the direction of the R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville, where on-line condolences may be made by visiting www.corkumfuneralhome.ca
