Mom was predeceased by her parents Ethel Glover and Ted Glover, brother Kenny Glover, sister Linda Mae Glover, father-in-law Ernest Missal and brother-in-law Garry Stein. She is survived by her husband of 40 years Bill Missal, her children Tami (Mark) Beck and their children Kylie and Kaden, Mark (Laura) Missal and their children Nate and Nash, Michael (Krista) Missal and their children Jack and Leo, sisters Diane Stein, Lee (Gerry) Treleaven, Ann (Dean) Knouse, Pam (Gary) Glover, brothers John (Leona) Glover and Dennis Glover, mother-in-law June Missal, brothers-in-law Bob (Ellen) Missal, Greg Missal and Tim Missal, sister-in-law Susan (Glen) Moon. Left to mourn her loss also are numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Joyce's life was held at 2:00 pm on Saturday July 13, at Lang Hall, Lang, with Judy Beck and Marj McLeod officiating. Interment followed at Lang Cemetery. Mom was born in Herbert, SK, on June 18, 1952. She attended Glen Kerr school and moved to Milestone in 1965 where she continued her education. In 1967 she met Bill at Milestone High School and they started dating shortly after. Bill and Joyce got married in 1972 and settled in Regina. In 1974 mom and dad moved back to Lang where they started their family. Tami, Mark and Mike were all raised in Lang. Mom took time while raising the kids to do things that she loved like sewing, crafts and various home businesses. Mom began her career working at Beautiful Plains Villa in 1989 as a care aid. This sparked her lifelong passion for caring for others. Hard work and dedication helped her move into management positions. She managed homes in Yellow Grass, Weyburn, Avonlea, Gull Lake and Pontiex. In 2001 mom started in Regina at the Marion Chateau as the duty manager. After three years she left to become the General Manager of The Bentley at Hillsdale in Regina. She was a dedicated and devoted employee right up until the time of her diagnosis. We would like to send heartfelt thanks to the doctors in Regina, Dr. Kumar, Dr. Koul and Dr. Khan. As well as all the nurses and staff at the Pasqua and General hospitals in Regina and Tatagwa View in Weyburn. A special thanks to all the amazing nurses and staff at Weyburn General Hospital who took such great care of mom, and Dr. Stewart who treated mom like family.
