LODER, PHYLLIS JEAN

November 21, 1925 - April 7, 2020

It is with Sadness and blessings we announce the quiet passing of Phyllis Jean (King) Loder, on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 in her 94th year. Mr. And Mrs. Loder married in Cooks Hr. on August 31, 1945, and she soon became a loving fisherman’s wife, working side by side with Mr. Loder, at the fish, in the woods, and whatever else needed to be done, all while raising their five sons. She enjoyed the simple things in life; going to church, making quilts, knitting hundreds of pairs of socks to give away, baking the best pies, cooking the best soup, and of course “going for a ride.” But most of all, she loved berry picking, especially if it included a boil up with a camp fire and a rooting stick. Anywhere, anytime, any kind of berries, she was ready....she even picked a few berries this past summer at the sweet age of 93. She loved traveling on long trips to visit her sons, and all her little ones, who she let help with making bread, and making pies and cookies. She was always happy in the outdoors and enjoyed going to the cabin, and sitting out by the fire; playing trouble and doing puzzles...if it was at Bruce’s cabin, she enjoyed hearing him play and sing... Of course, she wouldn’t have done any of this if her hair wasn’t done just right! Even though she loved to travel, she loved coming home more; to the house she lived in for 70 plus years with the man who had won her heart. She was so happy when her sons came home, and her grandchildren, and great grandchildren visited... She didn’t care how many came, there was no shortage of food, and she loved to cook it. She was quite content to live in her house, right next door to Al and Wavey, who were always there for her (thankfully). She was a woman of tremendous faith, and was happy to be joining Mr. Loder at last. She peacefully went to her heavenly home to the sweet sound of Bruce singing, Francis praying, and Eli, Cyril and Allan, by her side. Pre-deceased by her loving husband, Seymour Alexander, in 2001, she leaves to mourn, with lots of memories, five sons, Eli (Judy), Francis (Anita), Cyril (Mildred), Allan (Wavey) and Bruce (Joan): 14 grandchildren, Nancy, Jill, John, Tammy, Marsha, Dale, Dion, Michael, Terry, Angie, Lisa, Susan, B.J, and Robert; 25 great grandchildren, Peyton, Kristen, Nate, Noah, Sarah, Katie, James, Benjamin, Evan, Ethan, Brayden, Olivia, Reese, Magnus, Brandon and Jack, Ella, Henry, Stephen, Laura, William, Silas, Ezri, Adah, Jamin; one great great-granddaughter, Victoria Rose; Sister Mary Taylor and a large circle of family and friends, especially Evelyn, her good friend. She was pre-deceased by her parents Elihu and Gladys King; Sisters Hazel, Janet, Ruth, and Brother Maurice. Graveside services took place on Friday, April 10, 2020. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Kerry M. Fillatre’s Funeral Home, St. Anthony and Roddickton, Lee Nippard, Funeral Director.

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still Loved, Still Missed, and Very Dear”
