ROWE GAUTHIER, Phyllis

It is with great sadness that we announced the passing of Phyllis Gauthier (née Rowe), on November 21^st, 2023 at Centre d’Hébergement Argyll in Sherbrooke, Qc.

Phyllis had an exceptional career as both a radiology and nuclear medicine technician. She loved giving back to her community and once retired, she joined the Anglican Church Women (ACW), where she continued to thrive and create lasting friendships.

She was sadly predeceased by her loving husband of 63 years George and son Bob. Phyllis leaves to mourn her daughters Anne and Susan (Serge); sister Pauline; daughter-in-law Ruth; sister-in-law Caroline; her grand children Chlöe, Jaime, Christie, Eric, Mark and Daniel; her great-grand-children Benjamin, Briar and Hadley. She also leaves behind her nephew Steven and nieces Catherine and Lynn. Phyllis loved gathering the family and made many unforgettable memories for us all.

Funeral services will be held on May 18th at St-George's Anglican Church in Ayer's Cliff: visitation at 10 a.m. with a service to follow at 11 a.m.  A luncheon afterwards at the Catholic Church Hall on Clough St.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St-George’s ACW, which she presided over for many years (c/o Elizabeth Schoolcraft, 885 Clough Street, Ayer’s Cliff, J0B 1C0). Donations may also be made to St. Thomas Westbury Cemetery Maintenance Fund (c\o Mr. Roger Heatherington 338 Warner Street, East Angus, QC, J0B 1R0).

The family extends its gratitude and appreciation to all the compassionate staff from Le Renaissance Manoir St-Francis in Lennoxville and to the staff at Centre d’Hébergement Argyll in Sherbrooke for your immeasurable empathy and diligence. She will be missed by all that knew her.

So sorry for your loss. It was my privilege to get to know Phyllis and George after they came to Ayer's Cliff. Phyllis will be sadly missed by many.

First as Missioner, then as Bishop I made scores of visits over the years to the Eastern Townships. I usually stayed with George and Phyllis in Ayers Cliff . They were wonderfully kind and generous hosts.

Phyllis was an indefatigable worker in her Parish of St George, in the Deanery of St Francis and in the Diocese of Quebec. She was always ready to take on a task or serve in a particular leadership role. Her clear headed common sense and good humour made her a wonderful partner in the church’s ministry.

Living in Gaspe means I had not seen her often in the years before her death. But we did communicate regularly until the last year or so.

I am grateful to have had such a fine and stalwart friend. May she rest in peace.

I am sorry for your loss. I know how important your grandma was to you. I know you will have many, many memories that will be warmth to your heart and a smile to your face.

Love and hugs,
Shar

My dear, lont-time friend. I have many fond memories of time spent with Phil and GG at their beautiful homes in NDG, then in Ayer's Cliff. Your mother was a great woman, very accomplished! She was straight-forward and didn't eat around the bush. I also remember a great cook and gardener. She raised her family while doing important work and lived a long and full life and has reunited with her GG. My heartfelt condolences to you and Susan and all your family.
