ERICKSON
Phyllis Elizabeth
(nee Lowe)

September 15, 1940 – June 28, 2013

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Phyllis Elizabeth Erickson, a devoted wife of nearly fifty-four years, wonderful mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend.

Phyllis will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her husband Dan, daughter Deborah Seykora (Edward), sons Keith (Barb), Norman (Bonnie) and James, granddaughters Trisha, Haleigh, Cassidy, Montana, Emily, Sarah, great-granddaughter Sabrina and grandson Brendan. She is also survived by her three brothers Gary, Dale (Susan) and Glen (Ida), sister Julie Isendoorn, and many nieces and nephews. Phyllis is predeceased by infant daughter Karin Lorraine, father Frederick, mother Violet, brother Bert, sisters Eileen and Lorraine.

Born in Park Valley, Saskatchewan, her family moved to Duncan in 1956. Marrying in 1959, she eventually settled with her family in 100 Mile House in 1979. A successful businesswoman and accomplished Chinese Chef, she was well-known among family and friends for her many on-the-go projects and hobbies. A proud member and active volunteer for the Hospice Palliative Care Society, she also enjoyed the Lapidary and Genealogy Clubs. Phyllis even found time to teach basic computer skills to interested Seniors. She loved photography, painting flower pictures, crocheting, sewing and receiving frequent visits from her wild (pet) crow “Castro” and his little family.

We would like to thank the staff of 100 Mile House District Hospital and Hospice Palliative Care Society for the compassionate care she received, and the support given to our family.

A celebration of Phyllis’s life and service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society.
