Doreen T. Joyce

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Doreen Theresa Joyce, which occurred on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2025, at the Saint John Regional Hospital.  Born on September 26th, 1936, in Saint John, she is the daughter of the late Stephen and Mabel (O’Brien) Joyce.  Doreen worked as a Typist at Anderson Insurance for many years. She was an avid reader who enjoyed shopping, gardening, bingo and travelling.  Although Doreen didn’t have any children of her own, she was a mother to many.  We will miss her sass and her love of life and fun.

Doreen is survived by her sister Mary Beckingham of Saint John; sisters-in-law Carol Ann Joyce and Mary Lou Joyce of Saint John; nieces & nephews Susan, Ann, Mark, Wayne, Christine and Stephen; as well as many extended family members and friends.  Along with her parents, Doreen was predeceased by her brothers Thomas and Frederick Joyce and niece Deborah Ann Beckingham.

Arrangements are under the direction of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (506-646-2424), with visitation being held on Monday, October 27th from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m.  A Memorial Service will take place in the Fundy chapel on Tuesday, October 28th at 11 a.m. followed by an interment at Holy Cross Cemetery.  Donations in memory of Doreen may be made to the Community Autism Center, SPCA-Animal Rescue or to the charity of the donor’s choice.
