Miriam Joy Powles
April 19, 1957 - October 11, 2017
Tribute
It is with deep sadness that we share with you the passing of a dear sister, aunt, and friend, Miriam Joy. She passed away on October 11, 2017, surrounded by family members and the loving staff at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, BC.
Miriam Joy was courageous in her battle with cancer over the past eight years and taught us how to face life and its struggles with hope and faith. She drew great strength from her family, dear friends, and her faith in a loving heavenly Father. Miriam Joy is survived by her two sisters, Ruth (Barry) Borthistle, Marylynne (Conrad) Wiebe, and her two brothers, Brien (Elaine) Powles, and Allen (Suzanne) Powles, and by a host of loving nieces and nephews. Another part of Miriam’s legacy includes her dear friends who have faithfully stood by her side over these years. We are so grateful for each one of them.
We are deeply thankful for the love and support of the Christine Morrison Hospice, who gently and lovingly supported Miriam in her last weeks. We would ask that in lieu of flowers, donations in Miriam’s memory be made to the Mission Hospice Society in Mission, BC. Donations can be made online at http://www.missionhospice.bc.ca/.

Relation: Friend for 25+ years
Miriam was the first friend I made when I moved to Abbotsford from Ontario. She soon became my best friend. We cycled, sailed, camped, played tennis and baseball together. Both being teachers we were able to travel together during spring and summer breaks. Most importantly we shared our faith and were there for each other during surgeries and during the tough times when both our sets of parents passed away. Miriam was an amazing person and one of my dearest friends. I will miss you. My husband John and I send our sincere condolences to all of your family.
