Phyllis Doreen Mason
August 02, 1925 – September 19, 2018
Phyllis Doreen Mason of Perdue, Sk, died peacefully at Biggar Health Center Sept 19, 2018. She is mourned by her loving husband of 71 years, Robert (Bob) Mason and her children Beth (Greg) Polovick of Maple Ridge BC, Jim (Janice) Mason of Perdue, Barry (Kathy) Mason of Lanigan, Sk. , Richard Mason (deceased), Tracy Mason of Stony Plain, Alta: her 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Phyllis was predeceased by her parents Ross and Lizzie (nee Scharf) Williams and her siblings Norman (Loretta) Williams, Lola (Grant) Montgomery, Alena Williams, Cliff (Eleanor) Williams, as well as her In-Laws Walter and Vida (Hope) Mason and their other sons Bill (Clara) Mason and Walt (Audrey) Mason.
Phyllis was born August 2, 1925 at her family farm in Normanton District (south of Perdue). She attended Normanton School. At the age of 14 Phyll started her working career (finishing her Grade 10 by correspondence). She did housekeeping/cooking/babysitting, then later worked as a clerk at Perdue grocery store, and as a Home Care Aide. One thing Gram was very proud of was being a pitcher for the Leney Atoms Ball team that won the Estey Trophy in Saskatoon in 1947.
Phyll married the love of her life, Bob Mason, June 25, 1947 (delayed a week because the bride got Measles!). During their 71 years together their door was always open. Visits at the Mason home were full of good conversations, good food and frequent trips to the World Book Encyclopaedia!!
While going about the everyday business of helping to make a living, Phyllis’s main focus was always her family. She loved her kids and was so proud of their accomplishments. ( she never did forget a bad hockey referee call either). This carried on with her grandchildren and she followed their exploits as much as she was able. More importantly, she always had the best Grandma hugs and words of love and encouragement for all of us.
Her interests were varied. Phyllis took great joy in gardening. Her flowers, vegetables and baking took many a prize at the Perdue Agricultural Fair. She knit and quilted. She loved to visit with friends and go to exercise classes with them.
Phyllis had a full life. We miss her so much already.
Her funeral will be at the Perdue Community Complex on September 25, 2018 at 2:00 pm.
Donations can be made to the Leney Cemetery and Biggar Health Center Activity Department.
