Age 89 of Little Canada, passed away on May 1, 2024. Preceded in death by husband, George L.; granddaughter, Megan Bauer; parents, Edwin and Alice Conrad; brother, Hartley Conrad and special friend, Bob Hagen. Survived by children, Scott (Lisa), Caroline Bauer and John (Ruth); grandchildren, Alexandra (Adam) Clemans and Tyler Mohr and great-grandson, Jorge Bauer. Joyce was born in Duluth, Minnesota on August 22nd, 1934. Her brother, Hartley, was 5 years older than her. Joyce was Swedish and Norwegian, and she was very proud of this heritage. Joyce married George Canon, a mortician, after high school. They moved to Roseville, MN, then later to Little Canada, MN. Joyce was a secretary for the vice president at Bethel College. They adopted 3 kids over the course of 7 years. George bought a funeral home (Carlson Funeral Home) and Joyce styled hair for deceased women, first at Carlson Funeral Home and later at others. George had diabetes and he passed away from complications at age 39. Joyce was a wonderful seamstress. She also loved to play the piano and would sing at church and funerals. She loved doing yard work, taking pictures and spending time with her dog (she had many over the years). In addition to styling hair for funeral homes, she was also a receptionist at Arden Fasteners for many years. After Arden Fasteners, she continued to style hair at funeral homes until she was 85 years old! Five years after George passed away, Joyce was introduced to Bob Hagen, through a mutual friend. He was 14 years older than her and was a top salesman at Midway Chevrolet. Bob was very good to Joyce and her kids. They had a very special friendship for 18 years, until he passed away suddenly at age 77. She also had a close relationship with Bob's family, which continued after his death. Joyce's parents were both Christians and encouraged Joyce to love the Lord, too. Joyce accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age. She was very involved in church, attending Sunday School every week in addition to being in small groups over the years, as she felt it was important to be with other believers. She loved the Lord and we're so happy that she is in glory now and we can't wait to see her again someday! Funeral service Friday, May 10th at 11:00 AM (visitation 10-11 AM) at CALVARY CHURCH; 2120 Lexington Ave. N., Roseville, MN. Interment Roselawn Cemetery.
