Avis de décès

Mrs. Phyllis Skailes Pratt

Sherbrooke, January 6, 2026

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Phyllis Skailes Pratt at the CHUS-Hotel Dieu de Sherbrooke’s Palliative Care Unit with Bill and Jo-Ann by her side.

Phyllis was the only child born to Thomas Skailes and Marjorie Sawyer. She was the wife of late Archibald John Pratt. They lived in Waterville, Quebec for over 60 years.

She leaves to mourn her cherished only son and daughter-in-law William (Bill) Pratt and Jo-Ann Hovey. Phyllis will be sorely missed by Sue & Peter and Kevin & Mylena. Her cousins in England and Australia and friends will remember her contagious smile.

To respect her wishes, there will be no funeral service. Her ashes will be buried at a later date in Greenwood Cemetery, Waterville.

Bill and Jo-Ann would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the entire Wales Home team where she lived for 8 years for their above & beyond care. A special thanks to the dedicated team on Shaw 1.

As a memorial tribute, a donation to the Wales Home Foundation (506 Route 243 North, Cleveland, QC, J0B 2H0) in memory of Phyllis would be appreciated.
