  • Deborah Seykora lit a candle on 06/28/2015:
    "Dear Mom, It has been 2 years today since your passing, although sometimes it feels like yesterday and other times it feels like an eternity you have been gone from our lives. I think about you everyday, and of course wish you were still with us. I know I can't change the reality of you being gone and know you would want me to be strong. I always remember the strength you had to endure or overcome life's challenges. And I remind myself of the values and lessons you passed on to me. You were the most beautiful soul on this earth and i know your beautiful spirit is with me. Thank you Mom for your love you gave unconditionally and being such a wonderful person in my life. I love you Mom and miss you everyday! - Deborah"

    "Dear Mom - On May 11th, 2014 will be the first time I won't be sending flowers and a card proclaiming my love and admiration of you on Mother`s Day. It will be a difficult day, as I miss you so much! I would have given all my worldly possessions to have you saved from Cancer. You were not only my mother, you were my best friend and confidant. I love you Mom and I will always remember you. Your daughter, Deborah"

I miss you Mom! Lovingly remembered by your daughter - Deborah"

Phyllis Elizabeth Erickson (nee Lowe)

Born: September 15th, 1940

Passed on: June 28th, 2013

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Phyllis Elizabeth Erickson (nee Lowe), 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 was held on September 21st, 2013 at St. Timothy's Anglican Church. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the 100 Mile District Hospice Palliative Care Society.
