Sending my deepest condolences from the Brown and Higgins family. Joy was an amazing woman, full of love, care and empathy and kept family close. She has earned her wings and the lord has called upon her to enter the gates of heaven. She will remain with us all in spirit. She will be missed by so many. May all of her family and friends keep their memories of her alive in their hearts… when in doubt, continue to seek her for guidance… she is still watching.

It always seems like we have all the time in the world, only to realize how fleeting it really is! When I heard of Aunt Joy’s illness and then that she had passed, I felt many emotions. Sometimes we question God, why things happen the way they do; but God is love, and when I heard that Aunt Joy accepted Jesus in her last moments, that gives me peace. I don’t have to tell you what kind of person she was, because everyone who met her instantly identified that she was a gentle, kind soul who loved her family. Aunt Joy was tiny, but she full of strength, love, and wisdom. I remember attending an event ceremony for her last year, where she received the PSAC Award of Recognition for Human Rights Activism and I remember sitting there so proud and thinking ‘Wow’. That’s how humble Aunt Joy was, because everything she did, everything she fought for, she never bragged about it, she did it because it’s what she believed in. She was always listening, always helping people when she could and always there for everyone. We will miss you so much Aunt Joy, and you are so loved. I pray for strength over the family in this difficult time. I love you all so much. Our family is so big, but it’s big for a reason. To spread love, and to be there for each other. Rest In Peace Aunt Joy.

To Joy’s family,
I send my most sincere condolences to each one of you during this difficult time. Unfortunately I cannot make it to her celebration of life, but Joy will always have a special place in my heart. Having had the privilege to know and work with her for many years, she was a great mentor and encouraged me to become a union activist. She was definitely a wonderful woman and anyone that had the pleasure to meet her knows she had a heart of gold and laughter that could light up a room.
To Keith, Amanda and the rest of the family, my heart goes out to you and I pray that you find peace in all the memories you have of Joy. May God bless you and may she rest in paradise.
Sincerely,
Serena Simms

To the family. Joy was a great person, kind and the more she learned the more she taught and shared. She was also there to help who she could. Joy was also a great friend, and we grew together in the union movement. Joy will be missed by all who knew her. On behalf of myself and the Halifax Regional Women’s Committee of which she was the Chairperson of until she passed, I bring condolences to her family. May you find comfort in her memories.
