Joyce Pallister-Bronsch is a reciter of cowboy poetry, and a Christian Comedian. Joyce is a Minnie Pearl impersonator for family and community events. She is also the co-author and editor of the books on this website.
Joyce developed the impersonation of ‘Minnie Pearl’ at the request of her friend, Grace Jacobsen for the release of her CD “Country Music In The Sky”. After this, poetic inspirations came in the wee hours of the morning and upon writing them down she realized it was God’s way of taking her through the grieving process of her husband’s death, as well as the death of her first grandchild and her father.
Joyce won ‘Reciter of the Year’ in 2007 and Lyricist of the Year in 2008, 2009, & 2010 as well as Entertainer of the Year in 2009 at the Canadian Country Gospel Music Awards, which qualified her at the International Country Gospel Music Awards in Branson, Missouri. Joyce also won The Canadian Country Gospel Music Awards for “Reciter of the Year” and “Media Personality of the Year” in 2011.
She has since shared her poems with community audiences at fall suppers, musical concerts, cowboy poetry gatherings, cowboy church and at the Stampede Range Gals Pow-Wow, as well at ladies events. She continues to enjoy writing and performing poetry and her love for people is shown through her creativity, her sense of humor, and her enthusiastic personality as a ‘Minnie Pearl’ impersonator and ‘Minnie, The Reminiscer’.
