We Remember

FREW, Phyllis Beverly

June 23, 1937 — November 26, 2025

Phyllis Beverly Frew, 88, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025, in Kelowna, British Columbia, surrounded by the love of her family.

She is now with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus, joyfully reunited with her beloved husband, Steve, and her two daughters, Rhonda and Raenelle.

Together, Steve and Phyllis shared 59 years of devoted marriage, during which they built a life firmly grounded in faith, love, and an unwavering commitment to family.

For more than six decades, Phyllis poured her heart into teaching, finding her greatest joy in reading to young children. Her gentle presence, boundless patience, and gift for making every child feel seen and valued left an indelible mark on countless lives.

Her devotion to children reflected the same strength, kindness, and quick wit that defined every part of her life. She balanced the demands of work and family with grace – truly a pioneer of her time.

In her later years, Phyllis embraced creative pursuits, most notably Victorian lampshade crafting, in which she was an unparalleled talent. Her artistry transformed fabric and light into timeless works of beauty, a reflection of the warmth and elegance she carried within.

Just as her creativity illuminated the lives of those around her, her faith shone even brighter. Phyllis’s love for her church family was profound. Within their fellowship, she found community, purpose, and enduring faith. Her legacy of compassion, humour, and steadfast belief will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is lovingly survived by her sons, Rod and Randal, and her grandchildren, Caitlin, Nadine, Joe, and Jeff – who will continue to cherish her memory and carry forward her legacy. She is also survived by her brother Rick, her sister Darlene, and her many nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

A celebration of Phyllis’s life, with Pastor Keith Whitaker officiating, will be held on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 1:00 pm (PST), at Mission Creek Alliance Church, 2091 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A reception will be held following the service. All who knew and loved her are warmly invited to attend.

She will be deeply missed, yet forever remembered.
