Obituary Overview
Irene Gertrude Phipps
Our mother, Irene Phipps, found peace on Friday, December 1, 2017 when she passed from this world into heaven.
Irene was a strong resourceful woman who worked hard to raise four children with her husband, Bill. She was born on a farm near Watrous and moved to Saskatoon with her family in the middle of the depression. She loved to garden, cook, and bake. She could clean, mend or fix just about anything and her apple pies remain unrivaled and impossible to emulate. Irene was a woman of strong opinion and she never shied away from telling you what she thought. Mom taught us to work hard, care for others and stand up for what we believe in. Mom celebrated every season and put her heart into everything she did; she gardened in the summer, loved canning in the fall, and was excited for spring, but her favourite time of year was Christmas.
Irene is survived by her children: Daughter, Barb (Kelly) Peters and children Kendra (Mike) & Corey of Spruce Grove, AB; Son, Ron (Ruth) Phipps and children John (Jen and children Brianna & Ella), Bryce (Carla and children Carson & Tyler) & Devon of Saskatoon, SK; Son, Ken (Elizabeth) Phipps and children Jason (Jill), Kellie, Colin, Emily (Pat) & Heather (Julie) of Saskatoon, SK; Daughter, Karen (Jim) Cooper of Warman, SK; brother Fred (Marlene) Braybrook of Saskatoon, SK; sister-in-law Kay Braybrook of Edmonton; and numerous nieces & nephews.
Irene was predeceased by her loving husband, Bill; siblings, Grace (Fred) Hodgins, Betty (Doug) Chapel, Frank (Jean) Braybrook and Al Braybrook.
A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at Woodlawn Cemetery, 1502 2nd Avenue North. (Meet at cemetery gate at 3:00 p.m).
Our family wants to thank the staff at Spruce Manor in Dalmeny for all the support and kindness they showed Mom during her final years.
