Ilene Phipps Obituary
Ilene Mary Phipps – August 23, 1943 – May 12, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ilene Mary Phipps (nee Barbour), peacefully on Monday, May 12, 2025, at St Gabriel’s Villa in Chelmsford, Ontario.
Born August 23, 1943, to Jack and Margaret Barbour (nee Muir), Ilene grew up in Virginiatown, Ontario. She trained as a teacher at North Bay Teachers’ College and later earned a Bachelor of Arts from Laurentian University. On July 6, 1968, she married Peter Phipps in Sudbury, where they built a loving home and family together.
Ilene was a dedicated teacher with the Sudbury Catholic District School Board for over 30 years. Summers were spent with family and friends at camp on Black Lake, where she and Peter eventually built their retirement home. An avid gardener, she could spend hours planning and tending to her many flower beds. She was also a passionate bridge player and a long-standing member of the Sudbury Bridge Club. She thoroughly enjoyed playing, volunteering and teaching at the club, as well as travelling to tournaments and bridge weekends with dear friends. Above all, Ilene was a proud and devoted Nana. She treasured time spent with her grandchildren; baking, reading, playing games, and creating lasting memories.
Ilene will be deeply missed by her husband Peter; her son Neil Phipps (Sara); her daughter Sarah Atherton (Jeremy); and her grandchildren Chloe and Parker Atherton, and Kate McIlraith (Justin). She is also lovingly remembered by her brother Ken Barbour and by the family of her late brother, Patrick Barbour (Diane). The family extends heartfelt thanks to the compassionate staff at St Gabriel’s Villa for their wonderful care and kindness.
As per Ilene’s wishes, no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations to Parkinson Canada or Cystic Fibrosis Canada would be appreciated.
