Obituary for Sr. Joyce McGinn

Irondequoit: Suddenly Sr. Joyce was called home to God on January 6, 2016 during her more than 63 years as a Sister of Mercy. Sr. Joyce entered the Sisters of Mercy from St. Ambrose Parish in Irondequoit. She spent many years teaching elementary school at St. Rita, St. Thomas the Apostle, Our Lady of Lourdes, Elmira, St. Louis, Pittsford, and as principal of St. Michael School in Newark. She also served as the treasurer, counselor on the Leadership Team and local leader of the Rochester Sisters of Mercy. Sr. Joyce loved every part of life. She was devoted to the Sisters of Mercy, her loving family and her Irish heritage including "The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame." She was dedicated to catholic education and took a keen interest in her students, following them through life. Sister was the family historian and possessed a special gift for recalling details in the lives of her family and friends. Sister is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and the Sisters of Mercy.
Friends are welcome Monday 3-7pm at the Mercy Center 1437 Blossom Rd. where her vigil service will be held at 7pm. Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated Tuesday 10am at the Mercy Center. Donations may be made to the Sisters of Mercy in her memory.
