CANTON — Joyce Pauline Wing, 86, a resident of Canton passed away peacefully Tuesday, Oct. 18, at her daughter’s home in Canton, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born July 16, 1930, in Livermore Falls, the daughter of Roland Dube and Pauline (Riley) Dube. She was a graduate of Livermore Falls High School. On Oct. 31, 1953, in Livermore Falls, she married her husband of 50 years, Kenneth Lewis Wing. He passed away April 16, 2004.
