Joyce Carmen Barkhouse (nee Killam) was born in the Annapolis Valley town of Woodville, Nova Scotia, on 3 May 1913. She was the middle of five children born to Harold Edwin, a rural family physician, and Ora Louise Killam. Barkhouse attended the small rural school in Woodville until grade eleven when she transferred to the King's County Academy in Kentville to complete grade twelve. In 1932, Barkhouse earned her Teacher's License from the Provincial Normal College in Truro and began teaching in Sand Hill, Nova Scotia. In 1939, Barkhouse began teaching in Liverpool where she met Milton Joseph Barkhouse, a teller with the Royal Bank of Canada. They married in 1942 and had two children, Murray Roy, and Janet Louise. Milton's position with the Royal Bank took them from Liverpool to Halifax, Charlottetown, and eventually Montreal. Joyce Barkhouse returned to Nova Scotia in 1968 following her husband's death.
