July 10, 1926 - June 8, 2017

After a very full and wonderful life, at the age of 90, we are sad to announce the passing of our Mother, Joyce Foster. She leaves behind her loving husband of 69 years, Courtenay, and her four daughters; Bonnie Lang (Bob), Betty Hedges (Bruce), Colleen Dahlquist (Brett), Cindy Foster (Ray), her one remaining brother, Harry Maddocks of Kelowna, BC, and sister in laws, Yvonne, Shirley and Pat. As well as Peggy (Bob), Russell, and many nieces and nephews, her seven much loved grandchildren; Stephanie Robie (Colin), Jenny Lee (Greg), Ryan Lang (Devon), Scott Hedges (Shawna), Cody LeClair, Alain Champagne (Kristen) and Corey Champagne (Brittany). Mom was also a great grandmother and leaves behind her seven precious great grandchildren; Lucas, Joshua, Chloe, April, Owen, Brielle and Chloe.

She was predeceased by her parents, Reginald and Winnifred Maddocks of Richmond, BC, as well as her six brothers and one sister; Tony, Art, Bob, Jack, David, Keith & Mavis, and sister in laws, Bernice, Mary, Bonnie, Hazel, Jo, and brother in laws George and Mac. She will also reunite with her cherished granddaughter, Amber Hedges.

Mom was a kind and caring person and made great friends wherever she went. She was born in Guernsey, Saskatchewan, and grew up in Richmond, BC, working at Twin Hollies, the family farm. Dad and Mom raised their family at their home on Steveston Hwy and moved to Vancouver Island in 1980 where Mom became a member of the Eaglecrest Golf Club in Qualicum Beach, and loved to garden, play bridge and socialize with the ladies. Their latest move was to Hawthorne Place Assisted Living, where she also enjoyed meeting new friends.

We will be coming together to celebrate her life

at St. Mark’s Anglican Church,

138 Hoylake Road West,

Qualicum Beach, BC

at 2PM on Sunday, June 25th.

All are welcome.
