Joyce Gale Ham

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything You gave me.” – Erma Bombeck

The world was blessed with Joyce Ham’s presence on May 29, 1941.

Joyce “Honey”, Mom, Gramma, Farm Gramma, GG is lovingly remembered by her daughter Wendi (Kooch) and their children Tyler and Paige (Curtis); special son-in-law Perry Garrett; grandchild Lindsay (Tyler) Nylander and their children Abby, Sawyer, and Amelia Myrna; grandchild Sean (Kati-Ann) Garrett and their children Avery, Wylder, and Blu; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, family and friends, including friends of the Ponoka and Fort MacLeod Legions.

Joyce “Honey” was predeceased by her daughter Myrna (Selfridge) Garrett.

Joyce “Honey” lived up to one of her favorite sayings…You may as well “wear out” as “rust out.” Joyce’s many talents, to name a few, were sewing, mending, knitting, crocheting, and cooking (delicious cabbage rolls). Joyce’s favorite spot was on the farm tending to cattle, horses, and many pet dogs and cats.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or any charity of your choice.

Further details will follow regarding a Celebration of Life on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in Ponoka, Alberta.
