Phyllis Liscumb Obituary
Phyllis Jean (lovingly known as PJ) was born on March 24, 1950 in Vancouver, BC. Her school years were spent in Riondel, BC and later in Kamloops, BC where she formed many lifelong friendships. In 1969 she and her sister June moved to London, Ontario. PJ passed away unexpectedly at University Hospital in London on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at the age of 72.
Loving wife of Doug. Proud aunt of Rebecca Carr (Adam) and children Connor and McKenna; special step-mother of Robin Liscumb (Jamie) and Seanna Shearer (AJ); and Grammie of Coen, Benjamin, Donovan and Leonhart. Dear sister of June Stevens, Dianne Barker (Ed), Spencer Colman (Mary Ellen), Marilyn Ewert (George), Donna Spelay , Kevin Colman, Linda Bymoen (Murray) and Murray Colman (Renée). Also missed by in-laws Glenn Liscumb (Helen) and Janice Tunks (Paul) and many loving nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Ernest and Frances Colman and brothers-in-law Dick Stevens and Ted Spelay.
PJ worked for Lac Mac in London for 45 years with planned retirement imminent. Throughout her life she was dedicated to family, never missing a special family occasion in British Columbia. She was saddened to be unable to attend the July 2022 family reunion due to ill health. She was meticulous about sending cards for birthdays and special occasions to all family members.
PJ played ladies ball and had been an active member of the Ilderton Curling Club. She enjoyed time with her many friends in London with whom she and Doug snowmobiled, fished and socialized. PJ and Doug were looking forward to many years of travelling together in their motorhome.
