Joyce Tatham (22 May 1931 - 3 Jan 2026)

Auntie Joyce,
Our queen — you embodied strength and pride, and you will always be a beacon of kindness. You looked after everyone, especially my dad when he was young. I hope you’re both together now, having a party.
The world feels a darker place without you in it. Sleep well, Auntie Joyce. We love you always.

Tom, Kirsty, Faith, TJ, and Jensen x

We will remember x

Our Queen of Harts, Joyce not just a sister in law but a friend for 59 years, we worked together and went on holiday together lots of happy memories, when you lost George and 2 month later your youngest brother Steve you become my strength and listened to me, you always said they are just in the next room.
Im heartbroken that you are now in that room.
Our Queen of Harts RIP
Love always Dee xxx

Sweet dreams Aunty Joyce. No more hospital visits now. All our love. Andy and Helen.

On behalf of Eric, beloved brother to Joyce; whilst he doesn’t understand what’s happening now, he is forever grateful of the care you gave to him as a youngster. He always recounts how you had to bring him back from school and often missed the bus, so had to walk. He always talks about you all on Langcroft and how you were the family mother figure. Xx

To a dear sister-in-law reunited with george R.I.P Love Lily

The bingo cards are folded, the final horse has run,
The darts and snooker cues are down, the games have all been won.
She’s off on one last holiday, where the sun is always bright,
From Great Yarmouth’s sandy beaches to Tenerife’s warm light.
Her scooter’s parked up safely now, her hair is done just right,
As she settles in for EastEnders on a quiet, peaceful night.
With a splash of Baileys in her brew,
She’s finding all the best bits in a brighter, better way.
We’ll miss the laughs, the cheeky bets, the way she made us smile,
We’ll keep her memory in our hearts, for every single mile.
So raise a glass, or coffee mug, and let the toast be true,
To a special Auntie, "Eyes Down" now—we’ll always cherish you

So sad you’ve left us Joyce but now reunited with George hope you find peace xxx

Condolences to her family
