Joyce Pagano, or Joy as she was known to many, was a loving wife to Luigi and a caring mother to Emma and Nina. She was a sociable soul who loved meeting new people, making new friends and inviting them over for dinner. She was very active in her youth, taking part in activities such as dancing, playing tennis and going on long walks with her family. She filled her life full with various pastimes from furniture restoration, embroidery, cooking, singing and gardening. She converted to Judaism many years ago and loved attending services and participating in the choir. She was a passionate and determined campaigner, and cared a great deal about nature, wildlife and the future of our planet. Her kindness and compassion touched the lives of many and she will be sorely missed.
