Joyce was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1931 and is predeceased by her sister Constance Smye, and her brother Jerry Brock.  She had a long and brilliant career in television, hosting the popular talk show “Tabloid,” “The Joyce Davidson Show” and “Authors” in Canada; and working in the U.S.A. on a number of prominent programs.  These included “The Today Show” with David Garroway, “PM East/PM West” with Mike Wallace, as well as “The Jack Benny Show,” “The George Gobel Show” and the “Mike Wallace Show.”

She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.  The family are grateful to the kind and caring staff at Meighen Manor.
