Our loving Lenora Elsie Gibbs (Phelps, nee Evans) aged 93, passed away peacefully May 2, 2019 in her home. She will be remembered always by her son K. Brent Phelps, her daughter-in-law Tina Phelps and her granddaughters Breeanna and Callie Phelps. She will also be missed by Derek, Val, Chris, Aidan and Zoe Gardner. Lenora is also survived by her sisters Dorothy, Shirley and Blanche and her brother Leroy. She was predeceased by her husband Kenneth Phelps, her second husband Henry Gibbs, her sister Rosella, her brothers Harvey, Lloyd, Gordon, Willard and Harry, Melville and Vern and her parents Willie and Bella. Lenora was born November 9, 1925 in Hagen, Saskatchewan, lived in Peter Pond and Prince Albert for much of her life and most recently resided in Maple Ridge, BC.
Lenora was known as a true lady with incredible kindness and a supportive nature. She also had an impeccable fashion sense. Lenora’s pride and joy was her family. She and her son Brent had a close bond. Lenora lovingly passed on her cooking and baking skills to her granddaughters whose favorite are apple pie and ham pasties. She also enjoyed playing cards, golfing, knitting and crocheting and listened to hundreds of E-books. She loved to reminisce about what a good baby her son was, her cabin at Emma Lake, time at Waskesiu and growing up on the farm in Hagen.
Her family would like to thank the staff at Baillie House and Chartwell Willow Retirement Community in Maple Ridge. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences www.support.ubc.ca/ophthalmology-fund . A celebration of life will be announced later and held in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan this summer where she will be laid to rest beside her late husband Kenneth James Phelps.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Grays Funeral Chapel of Prince Albert, SK (306)922-4279
