Mrs. Phyllis Baron

Phyllis Evelyn Perrin was born July 13, 1940 on the Bingham farm south of Mankota, Saskatchewan. She attended Wideview School for Grades 1-10 taking her Grade 10 by correspondence but attending school.

Phyllis and Harvey were married April 26, 1957 and started their married life in Uncle Grover Cleveland’s house in Mankota. They then bought the Jake Shaw farm where they raised grain, pigs and chickens. Later, they moved the house into Mankota onto South Hill. In 1985 they moved the present house into town across the street from where they lived.

Phyllis worked at Kouri’s Market, the Paris Hotel and the Grassland’s Inn as well as cleaning the credit union.

Phyllis spent many hours, gardening and preserving then generously sharing the bounty. She enjoyed reading, word puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. At Christmas time she still had around 150 jigsaw puzzles she hadn’t done yet. Many family members have quilts and hooked rugs that she crafted.
