May 3, 1937-January 14, 2019
With great sadness we say goodbye to the rock of our family as she joins her loving husband Benjamin for eternity. Phoebe will be missed by brother Roy and Linda Pond and sister Mae and Bill Barnes of North Sydney, Nova Scotia, her children Edwin (Tracy), Jerry (Julie), Joshlyn (Ron), Garry, Sandra (Jesse) and Daniel (Linda) and her grandchildren Joseph (Nicole), Edwin, Sandra (Scott), Jeffery (Rebecca), Clayton, Jesse (Ashley), Spencer and Aaron, as well as her 11 great-grandchildren. Her courage, strength and unfailing sense of humour even in the most difficult times was an inspiration for all of us. Family and friends will be received at GIFFEN-MACK FUNERAL HOME, 2570 Danforth Avenue, Toronto on Friday, January 18th from 5 - 8 p.m., and Saturday, January 19th from 11-2 p.m., followed by a celebration of her life at 2:00 p.m. and internment at Pine Hills Cemetery, 625 Birchmount Road, Scarborough. In accordance with her wishes, in lieu of flowers donations can be made in Phoebe’s memory to the Salvation Army West Hill Citadel or the World Wildlife Fund.
