Phoebe Elizabeth Clowater
March 10, 1928 – January 14, 2019
It is with great sadness that the children of Phoebe Elizabeth (Curtis) Clowater announce her passing on January 14, 2019 at Hospice House, Fredericton New Brunswick in her 91st year.
Phoebe lived a very full life. She loved studying God’s word and discussing what she read with her «chosen son» Larry Graham. She began working as a cook at local sporting camps. Phoebe was a rural route mail carrier for Canada Post; she was the first female school vehicle driver in the district; she loved painting and many people have pieces of her artwork. Phoebe baked and decorated wedding cakes for people in the community and for her family. She was an excellent seamstress, cook and baker. At 69 years of age Phoebe opened a tea room in Doaktown and following retirement, loved hosting formal dinners and Victorian Tea Parties at her home.
Phoebe is survived by her children, Esther Clowater Sarchfield (Alvin), Roger Clowater (Mary), Dana Clowater (Crystal), Darla Clowater Reed (Gary); grandchildren, Michelle, Robbie, Amy, Victoria, Vanessa, Margaret, and Eleanor; eight great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
