On Sunday, April 2, 2023, at the age of 92 years, Joyce Kimber died away. She was a resident of Airdrie, Alberta. On August 31, 1930, she entered the world in Exeter, Ontario. She first settled in Goderich, Ontario, then relocated to Victoria, British Columbia, then Calgary, Alberta, and finally Airdrie, Alberta. Joyce wed Gordon Brown, and the couple went on to have four children. After that, Joyce tied the knot with Leslie Kimber.
She was a volunteer for the Bearspaw Golf Club Junior Program and a member of the Alberta Jewellery Travellers Association, The Bay’s Bridal Local 470, Teamsters Local 362, and IATSE Local 212. In addition, she was a member of the organization. Joyce had a remarkable life and was able to achieve a great deal during it. She was especially pleased with her success in the jewelry business, as a model, in the theater, and on screen.
Vacations spent traveling the world with Leslie, as well as visits with her family to Palm Springs, California, and Maui, Hawaii, stand out as Joyce’s most cherished travel experience. Her wit, humor, unflappable spirit, and resolve in any given circumstance will be the things that people remember her for the most.
