PHYLLIS ANNE KELPIN
(WALLACE)
September 18, 1935 - April 17, 2021
Mom was predeceased by her parents, James and Anne Wallace (Cole). She is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Donald Kelpin Sr., her children, son Donald Jr. (Karen); daughters, Shelley and Sharon Wolfe (Bill); and grandsons, Kyle (Hannah) and Darren (children of Don and Karen).
Mom will also be remembered by many relatives and friends including her sister-in-law Joyce Kelpin of BC and cousin Beryl Cole of Winnipeg.
Mom was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba. As a young girl she travelled with her parents frequently due to her father's service in the Canadian Air Force, eventually returning to Manitoba to finish school. She then attended the St. Boniface School of Nursing where she graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1958, and went on to work at St Boniface, Health Sciences, Misericordia Hospitals and lastly Luther Nursing Home.
While attending her training at St. Boniface, Mom met Dad. They were married March 17, 1958 and lived briefly in Winnipeg later moving to and settling in Stony Mountain for the rest of her life. Mom was a stay a home Mom while raising her three children and she was very involved in all family activities and sports for her children and grandchildren. Family meant everything to Mom. She eventually returned to her Nursing career still always putting family first.
Mom was a caring, kind and compassionate person as well as a great listener, always there for family and friends. She was a very organized individual and independent up to her last day.
We will miss the family celebrations and Mom's sense of humour. Mom loved a good laugh.
We would like to thank Dr. Kumar Belgaumkar for many years of care and the Interlake Palliative Care Medical Staff for their recent care and support.
Cremation has taken place and there will be a small family service at a later date.
Mom, you are forever in our hearts
and may you rest in peace.
