It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Janet Phillips, beloved wife of Bill, mother to Richard (Rick) & Robert (Rob). Janet passed away on March 28, 2025, at the age of 77. Janet was born April 27, 1947 to Mel & Babs Wilson of Souris, MB. Janet is predeceased by her husband (Merlyn) Bill Phillips.
Janet grew up splitting her time between her grandparents’ farm in Napinka and her parent’s home in Souris. Her and Bill married in 1964 and bought their first farm east of Souris in 1972. They raised their family on that dairy farm, and once retired, moved to their small farm at Grand Clairiere in 1987. They were married 56 years, until Bill’s passing in December 2020.
Janet will be mourned by her sons, Rob of Hartney, and Rick of Montreal, grandchildren Mathew (Megan) & Christopher, Riley & Tiffany, great-grandchildren Violet and Lila. She is also survived by her brother Robert (Bob) Wilson of Brandon, and sister, Patricia (Pat) Scott of East St. Paul, many nieces, nephews, friends and other family members.
A graveside service will be held at the Souris & Glenwood Cemetery on Saturday, June 7 at 1:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend and share their memories. No reception to follow in keeping with Janet’s wishes. In memory of Janet, donations may be made to a children’s charity or animal charity of one’s choice.
