Petrie, Phyllis …

Peacefully at University Hospital, London on Saturday, November 24, 2018, Phyllis Petrie of London (formerly of Dorchester and Grand Bend) passed away in her 87^th year.

The family is grateful to Dr. Hugh Rooney, Dr. Erin Spicer and Jill Gibson for our mother’s care.  We thank University Hospital 4^th floor (particularly Dr. Myers, Sandy, Ryan and Gina), where she was a frequent patient over the previous 13 months.
