Philis Elizabeth Mathers (nee Pocha) was born on May 28, 1951, in Prince Albert, SK, and passed away on October 3, 2026, in Prince Albert, SK, at the age of 75 years.

Philis was born on May 28, 1951, to Edward and Julliette Pocha. A fighter right from the beginning she was in the hospitalized for starvation twice in her younger years. She had a heart condition and was told she was lucky to get to her teens; she proved them wrong and lived to be 75 years old. Where her battle with Alzheimer’s finally got her. Told she should never have children but did have two sons, Doug Jr. and Philip.

Philis loved flowers and plants she had a green thumb and could make anything grow. Every tree in our yard she planted from a seedling. She also had started a business Philis Second-hand shop, including antiques.

Philis is survived by her loving family, her husband, Doug Allan Mathers; her sons, Doug Perry (Sarah), Philip Harry (Debbie); her grandchildren, Kathelyn Mathers, Doug John Mathers.

She was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Julliette Pocha; her sister, Gladys Jenkins; her brother, Louis Pocha; her parents-in-law, Harry & Stella Mathers, her sisters-in-law, Thelma Grayson, Doris Demairis, Ethel Mathers; her brothers-in-law, Henry, Bill, Gordon, Derek Mathers.
