Joyce Demelas passed away at Inverclyde Royal Hospital on December 27 aged just 57. The grandmother-of-four was first diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and bravely fought the illness for two years. Despite her own struggles, Joyce continued to be a source of support and fundraising champion for others. Joyce s funeral was held on Monday. Her children Gioia, Gianluca and Sofia spoke to the
Tele about their mum and said that above all else, she was a strong woman with a heart of gold. Sofia said: My mum was fiery and spontaneous and had a fantastic sense of humour. She had such an amazing bond with her grandchildren and was so funny, warm and kind.
