Joyce Gloria Weselak (Nee Bisko)

June 27, 1935 – October 6, 2023

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and sister in-law, Joyce Weselak, who passed away at the Beausejour Hospital on Friday, October 6, 2023 at the age of 88 years, with her family by her side.

Joyce was preceded by her husband Edward Thomas in 1994, her parents Theodore and Anne Bisko, her infant brother Alex Ted, parents in-law Edward Joseph and Katherine Weselak, her brothers in-law Douglas Weselak and Paul Letwin, sister in-law Carol Weselak, nephew Darren Letwin and niece Darcie Bisko.

Joyce’s memory will be cherished by her daughter Debbie (Leroy), grandchildren Chelsey (Danton) and

Janelle, great-grandchild Nash, brothers Robert (Frances) and Gary (Dorothy), sisters in-law Audrey Letwin, Eleanor Weselak, and Gladys Weselak, brothers in-law Ernie Weselak and Leonard Weselak as well as many nieces and nephews.

Joyce attended school in Sandhill, MB and completed Grade 11 in Beausejour.  Mom worked in Winnipeg with Ryan Gateway and enjoyed this job very much. She later married Edward on March 16, 1956.  Mom and Dad welcomed a daughter, Debbie and resided in Winnipeg for a couple of years.  They moved back to Sandhill and lived there till 1963 when they moved to Beausejour.  Mom later worked for Agassiz School Division in the Administration Office for 25 years till her retirement.

Mom loved to plant and work in the garden, bake, preserve food, help Dad on the farm and plant flowers.  She was always busy.  She loved her grandchildren and was especially proud of her great-grandson, Nash.  Her face would “light up” when she saw him.  Mom always put everyone’s needs ahead of her own and worked hard at everything she did.

We would like to express our appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Partyka and staff at the Beausejour Hospital for looking after mom.

Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Saturday, October 21 at 11:00 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E., Beausejour with viewing one hour prior to the service.  Interment will follow in St. Mary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in mom’s memory to a charity of one’s choice.
