PHYLLIS DESAUTELS (nee Thompson) Peacefully, with her family at her side, it is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of my wife, our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Phyllis (Nana), on Monday, Feb. 6, 2006. Phyllis was predeceased by her son, Johnny; parents, Frederick and Caroline; sisters, Fern, Amber, Arvella, and Yvonne; and brother, Birkett. Left to cherish her memory are her husband, John, of 58 years; daughters, Marlene (Tony) Laba and Robin (Tedd Ireland) Leeson; grandchildren, Tara (Richard Inkster) Laba and Matthew (Tammy) Laba; great-grandchildren, Dani-Lee and Grayden; brother Ernest (Lois) Thompson; and sister, Colleen Carpenter. Phyllis was born Nov. 30, 1928 in Fort Frances, Ont. She was the seventh of eight children. She grew up and went to school and worked in Fort Frances until she met John at the age of 17 years. They were married April 7, 1947 on Easter Monday, moving to Winnipeg, Man., where they brought up their family. She had a life of many trials and tribulations. She was the type of person who worried about everybody and everything living except herself. She loved the cottage at the lake, fishing, and everything about nature, especially birds. Phyllis (Mom) was a very loving and caring wife and mother. Her family always came first. When the grandchildren and great-grandchildren came along and visited, she was always the happiest. She loved laughing and talking to them, and was always trying to direct them in the right direction in life. She will be extremely missed. A funeral service was held Friday, Feb. 10, 2006 at 1 p.m. at the Bardal Funeral Chapel, 843 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg.
