Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPHYLLIS MARGARET MIKOLAJEK
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of Phyllis Mikolajek; a mother, sister, friend, boss, entrepreneur, and an overall compassionate, kind human. She passed away on April 19, 2023, at Selkirk Regional Hospital.
She is survived by her daughters, Nicole and Katie, stepson Chris, brothers, Bill (Janine) Finch, Tom Finch and Richard (Shan) Finch, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles from near and far away.
Phyllis loved to spend her time knitting, crafting, watching old heartfelt movies. She always had a new show or Hallmark movie she couldn't wait to tell everyone about. She was incredibly intelligent and loved to share her words of wisdom. Please honour her by spending a little more time with those you love, stop and smell the flowers (yellow daisies if you can), play a round of golf, go fishing, listen to her favourite Broadway tunes, crank Meat Loaf as loud as possible, see a ballet or wear something yellow. Be kind, stay hydrated and approach each new day with grace and integrity.
A Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.
Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.

My deepest condolences to all family and friends. I was fortunate to work on the board of our association when Phyllis was the president and she always had a smile on her face at the January tax seminar in Toronto. She was genuinely happy to be among colleagues and also to enjoy some of the balmy winter weather here in southern Ontario. - Posted by: Derrick Greetham (Fellow ATAP member) on: Jun 16, 2023

Deepest condolences to Katie, Niki, Chris and everyone who's life was touched in some way by this amazing lady. Phyllis was much more than a skilled accountant. She could connect with you in a very special way. Both professionally and personally. I always looked forward to our meetings and had a big hug for her when we were done. She always had time to talk about life outside of work and it was a part of her that made the business side blend seamlessly. I miss you already special lady. - Posted by: Ray Christie (Friend and client) on: Apr 29, 2023

Phyllis was a very close friend since grade ten. We continued our friendship until her passing. Phyllis spoke with such pride when we were talking about our children Katie and Niki were her everything along with her little dog. Socializing became more difficult in the more recent years due to her health condition but she embraced life with the glass half full perspective and enjoyed keeping in touch via texting. Phyllis will be missed deeply by many people. Rest in comfort and enjoy eternal youth and health my dear friend - Posted by: Jeanne Reykdal (Friend) on: Apr 26, 2023
