Born in Bridgeport on July 22,1933 to the late Frederick and Margaret Fries (Goodwin).

Beloved wife to the late Ronald Hutchings (2010).

Loving mother of the late Randy (2017), Mike (Hao), Cheryl (Hono) Medeiros, Kim (Brian) MacNeil and Rick (Pam).

Daughter-in-law to the late Lennard (MaryAnn) Hutchings and sister-in-law to the late George, Ernie, Harold, Albert, Mose, Jean (Cuff), Ruby (John) and Wally (Franci).

Mom was a hard worker all her life and her greatest joy was spending time with her family especially at the cottage. Her enjoyed pass times were playing cards, going to Bingo and her casino trips. Mom and her sister-in-law Carla always knew how to get to a casino okay, but coming home was always a long lost adventure.

Dad and Mom were loyal members to the Army, Navy and Air Force Club where they met many friends they shared many good times with.

A special thank-you to all her PSWs, nurses and activity team for all their wonderful care at Westmount Long Term Care as well as the nurses on the 5th floor of Grand River Hospital for the care they gave our mother.

Joyce's family will receive relatives and friends from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2019 & 10:00 a.m.- 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467. A service will be held in the chapel of the funeral home on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. with reception to follow. Private family interment will be held at Parkview Cemetery.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).
