Phyllis Dubuc turned 100 on June 25, 2023. So, her daughter, Rebecca Pomeroy planned a 100th Birthday Celebration for Phyllis at Senior Citizens Sunshine Club of Vegreville Centre on July 9.
Around 70 of Phyllis’ friends and family attended this get together which included a delightful lunch and refreshments catered by Sunshine Café.
Phyllis expressed that she credited her faith for her long life. “I have always thought positive, my family have always taken good care of me and my three children: Ed Dubuc, Maurice Dubuc, and Rebecca Pomeroy as well as my four grandchildren and four great grandchildren are my pride and joy. They always have been and always will be.”
Denise Komick said her aunt Phyllis is special because she is her Godmother. “She has always been there for me and has always been very positive. She always told me if something is bothering you just forget about it, and it will just go away.”
Tyler Van Moll mentioned that his grandmother Phyllis is and always has been one of the wisest people he has known. “She had a way as I was growing up to always be current; she met me right at the level I was at.
She has a youthful approach to life that I think is just amazing. The conversations we have are incredible.”
Ed Dubuc commented that his mother is the most beautiful bloom in God’s garden.
Simone Dubuc mentioned that her grandmother was special because of her great maternal instincts and selflessness. “She has always been involved in our lives.”
Phyllis’ nephew Roger Dubuc and her granddaughter Simone Dubuc led the people in singing Happy Birthday.
