Joyce B. McCann, 77 CAPE ELIZABETH
Joyce B. McCann, 77, of Cape Elizabeth, died peacefully on Sept. 8, 2008, at the Monarch Center, in Saco with her loving family by her side.
She was born Dec. 16, 1930, in Providence, R.I., the daughter of William J. and Nora McSweeney Bradley. The Bradley family moved to Portland where Joyce attended Sacred Heart School and was a 1948 graduate of Cathedral High School. She earned her bachelor of arts degree from St. Joseph's College, her master's degree from the University of Maine, and in 1985 earned her doctorate from Boston University.
On Sept. 26, 1953, she married Carl F. McCann Jr. beginning their life in Augusta and Bangor, and settling in Cape Elizabeth in 1959 where they raised their four children. Although the marriage ended in 1973, they remained friends.
Joyce began her career in education teaching kindergarten at St. Dominic's in Portland. As her interest in the field of learning disabilities grew she brought her talents to Waynefleet School, eventually moving into administration as the Director of Special Education for the Scarborough School System and Brunswick Schools, from which she retired in 1995. Joyce's professional knowledge and contributions to teachers, parents and children in the schools where she served were without parallel.
Her interests included gardening, travel, tennis, and skiing. She was a volunteer at many organizations, most notably, The Center for Grieving Children. Joyce was an artistic soul with a sense of color and perspective that graced the rooms in her home, her wardrobe, and delighted all who had the benefit of her guidance during shopping trips and in decorating their own homes. She visited England, Ireland, and Italy enjoying the scenery, history, museums, and companionship of her friends.
Those who knew her best will remember Joyce as an incredible friend, and a woman devoted to her family as well as to academic and community excellence. She was a communicant of St. Bartholomew Church in Cape Elizabeth.
Joyce was predeceased by her parents; her brothers William and Edward, and sisters Norma and Mary. Surviving are her three daughters, Kerry and her husband Michael Schnell of Lincoln, N.H., Jane and her husband Michael DiPietro of South Portland, Cathyann and her husband Matthew Ray of Morristown, N.J., and a son, Bradley C. McCann of Portland; two brothers, Robert Bradley and his wife Jeanne of Sutton, N.H., Gerald Bradley and his wife Rosemary of Bradenton, Fla., one sister, Jane Fucheck and her husband Frank of Houston, Texas; six grandchildren, Matthew and Amanda Schnell, Callie, Madeline and Jack Ray, and Mary DiPietro; several beloved nieces and nephews; her former husband Carl F. McCann Jr.; and his two sisters Dorothy and Margaretmary McCann, all of Portland.
The family would like to express a special thank you to Kindred Healthcare and their staffs at The Monarch Center of Saco and Village Crossings at Cape Elizabeth, they are angels on earth. Also a special thank you is expressed to Dr. Tom McInerney for all of his help and support.
Visiting hours will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, at Conroy-Tully Crawford South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland. A 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13, at St. Bartholomew Church, 8 Two Lights Rd., Cape Elizabeth. Interment will follow in Riverside Cemetery, Cape Elizabeth.
