Mom was born in MacGregor, Manitoba on December 2, 1935 to Nellie and Charles Pogue. She married Peter Phillips on June 19, 1954, and together raised their children Terry, Patti and Wendell. Mom and Dad spent many memorable years at their cottage at Ditch Lake with their children and grandchildren. She took great joy in her family and friends. She enjoyed bowling, cards, dancing, games and potluck dinners. Mom had a zest for life and appreciated each day. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be sadly missed.
