PHYLLIS RUTH WEDGE
(nee STEFANUK)
Peacefully, after a brief
illness with her son Joe at her side, it is with deep sorrow that we announce
the death of Phyllis Ruth Wedge on Monday, May 19, 2014 at Tudor House Personal
Care Home at the age of 89 years.
Left to cherish Phyllis’ memory
are her son Joe and his wife Trisha; grandchildren Stormy and Maya; brother
Eddie Stefanuk and his wife Rita. She was predeceased by her husband Joe who
passed away in 1997.
Phyllis was born and raised east
of Teulon on the family farm. She attended Normal School on William
Avenue in Winnipeg and received her Teacher’s certificate in June of
1948. She took great pride in her teaching career and legacy and attended
Normal School reunions to reconnect with old colleagues.
In 1948 Phyllis married Joe (Sr.)
and moved to Emerson where they spent their lives together as active members of
the community. Together they ran a restaurant until Joe started his career with
Canada Customs. Mom continued to teach until they started their family in
1965. She was active with the golf club, curling club, New Horizons and
other social activities.
After Dad’s passing Mom moved to
Winnipeg to be closer to her son and grandchildren.
Dementia took her away from us over the last few years
and she spent the final few years of her life at Tudor House Personal Care
Home in Selkirk, Manitoba.
Our Family would like to extend
our sincerest thanks to the wonderful and caring staff at Tudor house who took
Mum in as one of their family and looked after her as one of their own.
A Celebration of Phyllis’ Life
will be held on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Tudor
House, 800 Manitoba Avenue, Selkirk, MB.
In lieu of flowers donations may
be made to Tudor House Personal Care Home in Selkirk.
