Obituary of Joyce Csanady
<h1>Joyce Csanady</h1>
(nee Stever)
1915 2007
Passed away peacefully with her beloved Gabriel by her side on Friday, June 15, 2007 in her 92nd year.
Joyce was the dearly loved wife and soulmate of Gabriel who she married in 1966. Cherished mother of Patricia Hayward (Ron Howard) of Perth, Australia, Connie Kraft (John) of Kitchener and Susan Pleau (Nelson) of Dallas, Texas. Special step mom to Andrew Csanady (Debbie) of St. Pete, Florida. Also survived by her grandchildren, Debbie Leslie (Peter) of Perth, Australia, Sarah Buttee (Brian) of Waterloo, Daniel Kraft of Kitchener, Brittany Pleau of Dallas, Texas, Ashley Csanady and Jay Csanady (Sam) as well as 2 great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her first husband, Edward "Bud" Wellein in 1964.
Joyce had a wonderful full life, travelling the world, playing surrogate mother to several generations of Gabe's flock of graduate students and she especially loved ballroom dancing. Her favourite times however, were spent with Gabe and her extended family at their cottage in Kincardine, a truly special place they returned to year after year. She was renowned for her razor sharp wit and feisty personality and will be missed by many.
A special thank you to all the wonderful, caring people that looked after Joyce; the staff at Doon Village Retirement Home, the caregivers from Robertson Brown and most recently Lanark Heights Long Term Care. Also Zabrina, your love and compassion made a difficult journey bearable and we will always be grateful.
