Notes for Joyce GLUCK

Joyce (Gluck) Breyfogle
January 27, 1929 - October 1, 2005

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Joyce Breyfogle on October 1, 2005 at Grace Hospital. Joyce was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who was passionately committed to her family. She was a miraculous gardener, an avid card player, and a fabulous cook, who loved to entertain family and friends.

Joyce was born in Morris, Manitoba on January 27, 1929, the daughter of Gustav and Theresa Gluck. As a girl she lived in Ste. Elizabeth and moved to West Kildonan with the family in 1946. Joyce worked at Searle Grain before marrying Warren Breyfogle in 1951. Together they farmed with Warren's parents on the family dairy farm near Ste. Agathe and then lived in Winnipeg for a few years before acquiring their own farm near Rosser. This was the perfect location to raise their seven children and to pursue their lifelong gardening passion.

Once all of the children were in school, Joyce returned to the workforce, doing accounting at Eaton's. When Warren and Joyce sold their farm, they spent a few years living in St. James before retiring to their cottage at Sandy Hook. Recently they had moved to the Lions Manor in Stonewall.

Joyce was predeceased by her parents, Gustav and Theresa; brothers Wilfred and Ralph; and sister Alma. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Warren; by her seven children, Donna (Doug Langrell), Debbie (Jerry Jones), Wilfred (Rhonda Turner), Marvin (Christie Newson), Wendy, Terry (Chris Burch), and Tim (Jackie); also by twelve grandchildren, Kate, Thomas, Brent, Kelly, Lee, Adam, Candy, Abby, Sarah, Daniel, Colin, and Joseph; and great-granddaughter Kendall. Also mourning Joyce's passing are her brother, Rodney Gluck (Gerry); goddaughter, Carol Buhr (Ernie); godsons Gus Beitz (Becky) and Kerry Gluck (Cheryl); and numerous nieces and nephews. All will deeply miss Joyce's irreplaceable nurturing and supportive spirit.

Thank you to the Grace Hospital staff, especially those in ICU and on the third floor. The family's gratitude is extended in particular to Drs. Shepertycky and Paunovic, and to Abby and Catherine on the third floor, for your care and compassion.

A memorial service was held at 2pm, Thursday, October 6 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 600 Cambridge St., Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joyce's memory to the Grace Hospital Foundation, 300 Booth Dr., or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 200-6 Donald St., Winnipeg.
