Holmes, Phyllis
December 8th, 2017
At home in London, Ontario on December 8, 2017, Phyllis died peacefully with her family at her side. Phyllis was predeceased by Robert, her husband of 67 years, and sons Bill and Russell. A curious soul and lifelong learner, Phyllis was first in line to learn the latest technology – from microwave ovens to personal computers. She was a gifted seamstress and delighted in the challenge of creating original costumes, wedding dresses or any other unique requests from her children. Phyllis was an original member of the London Brush and Palette Club, and in her 50s, she expanded her artistic talent by attending Beal Art programs. Blessed with a sharp mind and incredible memory, she was always available to play a competitive game of Scrabble. Astoundingly resourceful, Phyllis delighted in a challenge and we have no doubt that, along with her extraordinary patience, these attributes contributed to her living into her 102nd year! Phyllis was a loving mother to Douglas (Glenda), Ken, Glen, Norman (Lillian), Carol (Stephen) Edgar, and Janet (Brad) Belchamber; special sister-in-law to Joan Couper; aunt to many nieces and nephews; grandmother to Christine, Andrea, Leaf, Stephanie, Wesley and Callin; and great-grandmother to many great-grandchildren. The family thanks neighbours Jim and Barrie, VON nurses and PSWs, and Home Instead PSWs Lori, Nancy, Nicole and Carrie who supported Phyllis’s determination to stay in her home. Appreciation to Nina White, Dr. Shewfelt, and VON nurses Stella and Ruth for their compassion and expertise during Phyllis’s final days. A memorial service is planned for the spring.
