It is with broken hearts that her family announce the passing of Sharon Joyce “Joy” (Carroll) Magnus on November 7, 2024 at Hospice House Fredericton after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Doaktown NB on February 7, 1954, Joy was the youngest daughter of Dwight and Evelyn (Amos) Carroll of Carroll’s Crossing NB.

Mourning their great loss are Charles, her husband of 35 years; son, Steven Magnus (Keltie) of Fredericton, NB; and daughter, Victoria Sproule (Matthew) of Red Deer, AB; granddaughters, Everly, Alina and Sophie Magnus, Charlee and Natalie Sproule; as well as her brother, Wayne Carroll (Shirley) of Carroll’s Crossing NB; sisters, Bea Schulz (Ron) of Torrington, AB and Lynn Connors of Westlock, AB.

Besides her parents, Joy was predeceased by her brother, William (1971); sister, Sylvia Cail (2018); brothers in law, Floyd Cail (2019) and Gilbert Connors (2018).

Joy accepted the Lord into her heart at a young age and served Him faithfully all the days of her life telling many about her love for Jesus.

Joy was a resident of Carroll’s Crossing, NB where she and Charles lived after moving back from Alberta in 1992, with a 6 year stay on Grand Manan Island. She loved making her apple pies, and knitting and crocheting many blankets and sweaters. She also loved to do jigsaw puzzles.

They did a lot of driving across Canada, 25 times with their camper and 5th wheel trailer.

Her loss will also be felt by innumerable relatives, friends and co-workers whose lives were touched by her warmth and goodness.

Visitation will take place at York Funeral Home’s Miramichi Valley Chapel, 7681 Route 8, New Bandon, NB on Monday, November 11, 2024 from 12-2 pm and will be followed directly by a Funeral Service at  2 pm with Pastor Roger Mitchell officiating.
