Phyllis Gloria (Fryer) Hoban
Date de décès : 29 août 2017
The family of Phyllis Hoban sadly announce her sudden passing at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, NS on August 29, 2017.
Born and raised in Powassan, ON Phyllis joined the Air Force to see the world. And she did. While married and raising a family, she lived in France and Germany (and toured Europe) as well as Manitoba, PEI, and Quebec before settling in Sydney, Cape Breton.
She had a zest and enthusiasm for life – curious about everything, with a kind and gentle soul. She loved travelling, history, reading, baking, shopping, flowers, crocheting and all things bright and beautiful. But most of all she loved her family who in return loved her deeply. Phyllis will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her children, Wendy (Rod), with whom she resided, Randy (Barb), Steven (Cathy), Rosalee and Anthony/Tony (Wendy); grandchildren, Jesse (Julie), Fraser (Lily), Elliott, Olivia, Jonathon, Patrick, Brandi and Alesha; great-grandchildren, Kali, Noah (her very special ‘little guy’ who called her ‘The Great’) and Ivy; great-great grandchild, Mason, and her beloved cat, Bud.
She is predeceased by her mother, Margaret McConnell; grandmother, Francis Fryer; Pops William Fryer; uncle, Norm Fryer (Gert); son-in-law, Brent MacAulay, and former husband and father of her children, Alex.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Steven MacDougall whom she trusted and was very fond of, for the many years of wonderful and compassionate care.
As per request, a family service only followed by cremation.
Donations in loving memory of Phyllis Hoban can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Lung Association, or to the Canadian Diabetes Society.
