December 19, 2025 By Haskett Funeral Home 30 Condolences

TALL: Joyce (Niedzwiecki) of Zurich, formerly of Buffalo, NY

Passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, at South Huron Hospital, Exeter, on Monday, December 15, 2025 at the age of 67. Beloved partner of John Clark for 7 years. Cherished mother of Nicole Tall, Eric Tall, and her beloved dog, Ginger B. Dear sister and sister-in-law of Bruno and Marcia Niedzwiecki. Predeceased by her sisters Ingrid Morrison, Karin Hobaum, and Gisela Hewicker, and her parents Bronislaw and Elisabeth (Pittig) Niedzwiecki.

Joyce lived life with curiosity and joy. She especially loved traveling, with memorable trips throughout Asia, enjoyed playing golf, pickleball, and embraced life with enthusiasm. She will be remembered for her youthful spirit, her ability to fill any room with positive energy, and her kind, gentle nature that touched everyone who knew her.

Special thanks to the staff at Exeter Hospital for the care, compassion, and love they showed Joyce during her time there.

Cremation has taken place. A private celebration of Joyceโ€™s life will be held at a later date.

If desired, memorial donations may be made to a charity of oneโ€™s choice.

    My sincerest condolences. Joyce was an important part of the International team at CRA. She was always supportive and made it a great group to be part of. Joyce lived close by, and was a neighbour to my wife’s boss, Bob Boyes. We often shared stories, including about the latest news in our families. My thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

    I last saw Joyce in July 2024. She and a few other classmates were in WNY on a visit and the call went out for a get-together, as it often does when someone from our โ€œforever friendsโ€ group is in town. Joyce often brought pudding shots to our gatherings (I believe Chandra helped with these). She always brought fun and adventure. She will be missed but never forgotten. Deepest sympathy to John , her children and her extended family.

    My deepest condolences to Joyceโ€™s loved ones. I worked for a few years in the cubicle next to Joyce at the CRA and got to know and love her. As mothers, we would talk about our children. Joyceโ€™s love and devotion to Nicole and Eric was clear. Their wellbeing and happiness were her priority.
    Professionally, Joyce was a conscientious employee with integrity and strong ethics as well as compassion and genuine caring for others. I am saddened by her loss and will hold Joyce in a special way in my heart.

    Joyce was my team leader at CRA. Outside of taxation, she and I had long conversations about fashion and always told each other about sales and deals. Those were the best parts of my mornings at work. She was an easy person to talk to, very kind and generous.
    Rest in peace, Joyce.
