Joyce Thomas

It is with deep sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of Joyce Thomas at the age of 67 years. Joyce had 43 years of nursing clinical experience. Throughout her career Joyce led the development of the early structuring of cardiac care, leaving a significant impression on both St Boniface Hospital and the Cardiac Sciences Program. She worked 20 years as head nurse of St. Boniface MICU. She contributed 12 years as Program Team Manager of Cardiac Services, including the Heart Cath Lab, EP Lab, Pacemaker Defib Implant Service, Pacemaker Clinic, Cardiac Recovery, General Cardiology Clinics, Echo, Stress and EKG. Joyce will be missed by all who knew her. Our most sincere condolences to Joyce’s family, friends and work colleagues. A Celebration of Life for her will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 29th, 2019, at the Masonic Memorial Temple, located at 420 Corydon Ave., Winnipeg, MB. For details, see link
