Mrs Thelma Dunbar Philbrick
Sherbrooke, 28 août 2021
The family of the late Thelma Dunbar Philbrick announces with profound sadness her passing at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital in Sherbrooke, Québec on August 28, 2021. She was the daughter of the late Percy Dunbar and the late Matilda Hutchings from Melbourne Ridge and Sherbrooke. Married to the late Gordon Philbrick.
Thelma leaves in mourning her children, son Percy Craig and daughter Kerry (Sid), as well as her two treasured grandchildren Nathaniel and Kaitlyn Patton (Matthiew), who were the sunshine that warmed her heart.
Thelma also left to mourn Beverly Reed a cherished niece, who always called our mother ‘Ma Tante’. Thelma also left in mourning several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A special mention goes to Linda Vogas who was more family than friend, also Ross Woodard (predeceased), and Dena (Chase) whom Mom cherished and cared for like her two other children. Without them her family would not have been complete.
Mom died as she lived, quietly and with dignity. A dedicated wife, mother, grandmother. A true and vital mentor to many in her personal life and in her community. Membership and Service to the Plymouth Trinity United church for almost 75 years. As Dena Chase stated all who knew mom were blessed, as we have lost a fine example of humanity.
Many thanks for the exceptional care given to her by the 6th floor palliative Care Wing D. of the Hotel-Dieu hospital. Also to Dena Chase without her help this obituary would not have been so well done.
Family and friends are welcome to gather at the Steve L. Elkas Complex, 4230 Bertrand-Fabi, Sherbrooke, on Saturday, september 18, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., followed by the funeral service in the chapel at 2:00 p.m., the Dr. Rev. S.

My thoughts are with you
Dear Craig and Kerry,I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you both and to your families.
I watched the funeraweb and was touched by your daughters eulogy. She hit the nail on the head when she said, the moment you meet Thelma you fall in love with her. She was so kind and sweet and always smiling, always happy to see me when I saw her, it was the feeling she gave whenever we met.
She gave me a couple of plates when my Aunt Tilly (your grandma), also my godmother passed away. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and I have a thought of both Aunt Tilly and your Mom when I see the plates. I hold them close and dear to my heart.
Again, my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Sharon xx
