Obituary of Joyce Ellen McNeil

A resident of Dresden, Joyce McNeil passed away unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at the age of 75.

Predeceased by her parents, Colin and Cecile (Denomme) McNeil. Loving sister of Larry McNeil (Corinne), Dan McNeil (Kathy), Barb Warr (John), and Virginia Babcock (Brent). Cherished aunt to several nieces and nephews. Joyce will also be deeply missed by her loyal companion, Black Jack, her beloved Boxer who was by her side every minute.

Joyce was a proud retiree of the Bruce Power Plant, where she dedicated many years of service. She will be remembered for her kind heart and lifelong love of animals — especially the many pets who were lucky enough to share her home and her heart.

Cremation has taken place. Interment will be held at a later date in Goderich.

Those wishing to make a donation in her memory are asked to consider PAWR (Pet and Wildlife Rescue) or the Dresden Food Bank.

Arrangements entrusted to the Badder Funeral Home & Reception Centre, Dresden.
