Phyllis V.’s Obituary
Phyllis passed away peacefully on November 17, 2020 at the Peace River Hospital at the age of 92, surrounded by her loving family.
Beloved wife of Hans Lund (2015), cherished mother of Daniel (Ann), Jay (Warren), Beverley (Ron), Richard (Karen) and Christopher (Arlene). Loving grandmother to Kristin, Krystal, Klarissa, Erik, Alison, Jennifer, Christine, Ryan and Taylor; and loving great grandmother to Emma and Scott. Phyllis is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Elmer and Flossie McCormick and her 9 brothers and sisters (Margaret, Jean, Elmer, John ‘Jack’, Leone, Lorrien, James, Howard and Harvey).
Youngest of 10 children, Phyllis was born in Wainwright, Alberta on June 4, 1928. Her father passed away when she was very young. During her childhood she spent lots of time outside and worked at the local movie theater and grocery store. Eventually, her mother, brother Harvey and herself moved to Brownvale, Alberta where Harvey had a job opportunity at the hardware store. There she met Hans Lund and they were Married on December 26, 1948. They lived many years on the farm in Griffin Creek with their 5 children. At the farm she enjoyed berry picking, the blooming of the crocuses and wild roses in the spring, picnics at the river and the annual family camping trip. In 1984 they moved the family to Peace River. In her later years, mom loved travelling to visit her scattered children and families.
Phyllis loved needlepoint and crocheting, watching birds, and spent countless hours reading, especially about history and people of Canada. She really treasured her grandchildren and would spoil them with goodies and crafts. As she grew older, she loved hearing of the adventures of her children and grandchildren and the pictures of their travels.
After Hans passed away in 2015, she moved to Points West Living where she was cared for until her passing. Phyllis was very kind and lived a long life of good health and happiness. Although she will be greatly missed by her family, we all know she is at peace. Phyllis will be laid to rest next to Hans in the Griffin Creek Cemetery. A private Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2021.
The family wishes to give a special thanks to Bernadette Harris and all the staff at the Peace River Points West Living for the wonderful care of Mom these last years. Also to the Peace River Hospital for their dedication and care at the end of her life.
“Until we meet again”
