Gilberte McPhee

Born in North Bay, Ontario, on June 1, 1934, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2025, at the Rosefield Care Centre in Innisfail.

Gilberte came to Alberta in her teens and worked at the Red Deer General Hospital. She met and married her husband Jack during this time and moved to the McPhee family farm where they raised their family. Mom was an avid curler while living at the farm, participating in many ladies’ bonspiels throughout the province.

In 1973, they retired to Red Deer. Following their retirement, golf became a large part of Gil’s life. Jack and Gilbeerte were gracious hosts to many friends and family before and after their retirement.

Lovingly remembered by her daughters Lynn (Tim Jackson), Debbie (Harvey Kelts), Kate Squires-Landry, Anna (Carl Johnson), and her son, Rob McPhee, as well as her son-in-law, Glen Stevenson, and half-siblings Rob and Suzanne.
