At the age of 80, she gave up golfing at the Moncton Golf and Country Club, where she had been a member for more than 50 years.
Phyllis also enjoyed music, playing the piano and often accompanying Les on the saxophone. She continued to play the piano well into her later years.
She was predeceased by her husband, Leslie A. Pinder; and three brothers, Wilmot, Ellsworth (Peter) and Bertram.
Phyllis is survived by her daughter, Dr. Lesley Pinder, and several nieces and nephews.
Special thank you to nephew, Peter (Helen) Inman, whose help enabled her to remain in her home longer than otherwise, and nieces, Judy (Ron) Jodrie and Cathy (Dennis) Mires, for visits and caring.
Mention needs to be made of the “West End Sewing Club, ” which started in the 1950s, met weekly in their homes, supported members through 50 years of family life, and formed friendships that lasted a lifetime.
I would like to thank my many friends and colleagues whose company Phyllis so enjoyed at innumerable gatherings, and also the staff at Passamaquoddy Lodge who gave such excellent care to Phyllis during her years there.
A memorial service will be held in Moncton at a later date.
