Mom was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Gordon Barefoot; brothers, Gordon Barefoot, Frank Barefoot, George Barefoot, Harry Barefoot and Tom Barfoot. Mom was born in Brandon, MB and moved to Inchkeith, SK as a child where the family ran a post office/general store. The family then moved to Winnipeg when Mom was in her teens. Mom spent her early adulthood playing women's fastball for the St. Boniface Athletics, and working as a Bookkeeper for a local bakery. She married Morris on September 17, 1954 and they recently celebrated their 63rd anniversary. The family will be celebrating Phyllis's life with a private family memoriam.

My condolences to Phyllis' family. I met Phyllis as a very young boy through my uncle Ed Wilde who worked with Phyllis at Honeysuckle Bakeries. My uncle always had kind words to say about her and that's how I remember her. Years later I had the pleasure of curling with her brother-in-law Moe. - Posted by: Ed Klemm (Acquaintance) on: Nov 12, 2017

Aunty Phyllis; There are so many fond memories of time spent with our family and yours... all the dancing in the living room and the endless enjoyable get-togethers. I know our dad (your brother Tom) enjoyed being so close to you and the way our families intertwined... It is so much a part of 'who we are today'. I also love that you shared your home with Granny and Grandpa as well; as their presence further strengthened the family bond... Love you always, Bev - Posted by: Bev Voigt (Barfoot) (Niece) on: Nov 08, 2017

Auntie Phyl. Your home was always warm and welcoming and filled with food and love. Kids from all around knew they could come and be themselves. If I had not spent so many weekends at your home, while growing up, I fear I would have had only half a personality. So long... - Posted by: Bob Barfoot (Nephew) on: Nov 08, 2017
