Hordern-Zutter, Joyce
HORDERN-ZUTTER, Joyce Susanne May 5, 1952 — Sept. 11, 2010 The sudden passing of Joyce has brought deep sorrow to her family and her wide circle of friends. The pain of this grief will be tempered by the great love and care that she shared with these people and the wonderful memories that she has left. Joyce is survived by her husband Randy and daughter Beth of Sherwood Park as well as: the Hordern side of her family — her father Bill and brother Davis of Saskatoon and her Regina family of brother Richard, Nancy, Kjersten, Aaron and Marja. She was predeceased by her mother Marjorie. The Zutter side of her family includes parents Lloyd and Fern of Grande Prairie, brother Kevin, Sandy, Morgan and family, Candice and family of Red Deer; sister Deanna, Don, Jamie and Andrea of Coalhurst. These family members, her extended family, and her wide circle of friends were all so valued and loved by Joyce. It is not possible to put into words her love for family and friends. Joyce will be remembered for multiple reasons but special mention needs to be made of her strong commitment and work within Lutheran and ecumenical social justice organizations. Her efforts and involvement in these brought her into contact with many, as did her love of folk music. A Memorial Service celebrating her life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 16 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 10014 — 81 Avenue, Edmonton. As family members have severe allergy concerns we ask that those attending avoid wearing scented products such as perfumes, cologne, after-shave and others. In memory of Joyce, donations to Canadian Lutheran World Relief, the Edmonton Food bank, or the Social Justice Institute would be supportive of her commitments in life.
