McCully-Stubbs, Joyce Marie, age 22, of Pinevale, Antigonish County, passed away on December 9, 2023.

Born in Halifax, she was a daughter of Trent Robin McCully and Renée Janet Stubbs.

Joyce was a graduate of the Culinary Arts program through the Strait Campus of the Nova Scotia Community College.  She spent an enjoyable year working in the kitchen at Little Cristos in Antigonish before moving on to S & L Bakery.  She loved her job there, and they loved her, too.

Joyce was an artist.  She was an excellent photographer and also enjoyed origami, sewing, knitting, and crocheting.  She enjoyed the outdoors, especially kayaking, spending time at the beach and the cabin, and swimming at the lake.  She loved plants and animals, and, given her love of Gaelic, she had fond memories of her trip to Ireland, also.

Besides her parents, she is survived by her sister, Frances Irene; twin brother, Edward Louis; and baby sister, Julia Robyn; grandparents, Ralph & Dorinda McCully and Agnes Carpenter (Stan Barter) and James Stubbs (late Charlene MacRae); uncles, John Paul Stubbs and Shawn (Anne-Marie) McCully; and cousins, James, Ethan, and Jacob Stubbs and Lucas and Liam McCully.

Cremation has taken place, and visitation will be held Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish.  A private family funeral will be held.

In Memoriam, donations to the Jordan Myles Foundation appreciated.
