Phyllis Louise (Budd) Patterson

            Phyllis “Louise” Patterson (nee Budd) passed away on February 14, 2020 at Fairview Personal Care Home, Brandon, MB at the age of 79.

            Louise was born on January 1, 1941 to parents Ethel Bland and James Budd on the farm near Glenella, MB. Louise moved with her family to Plumas, MB to a tiny house with no electricity or running water at the age of ten when her Dad passed away in 1951. She attended Plumas Elementary School with three of her brothers.

            Louise married Douglas “Lloyd” Patterson, her husband for 40 years and they farmed for many years at Helston, MB. She loved the outdoors and was a full partner with Lloyd working on the farm. It was said that “Lloyd and Louise made a great team”. Louise may not always have agreed with Lloyd at first but she always did what he wanted. She had a large garden, and enjoyed preserving fruits, jams and making her special pickles while baking great homemade bread.

            Louise is survived by daughter Teresa Mae and grandchildren Jarett and Bailey of Vancouver; niece Darlene (Len) Perrett of Arden, many nieces and nephews and the Patterson Clan. She was predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 1998; parents; infant children Brian, John Allan, and Karen. Louise was the last surviving sibling of the family of eight; Irene, Rita, Jeannette, Alvin, Melvin, Wilfred, and Archie.
