Phyllis VINGOE: Died 25th July 2008, North Bay, Nugget, Ontario
VINGOE, Phyllis -passed away peacefully on July 25, 2008. Phyllis was born to Lottie and Duncan McLachlan, a pair of hard working Scots, in North Bay, Ontario on April 24, 1923. Her sister, Myrtle Carr, and brother, Morris McLachlan, still live in North Bay. Phyllis was an excellent student and she graduated from high school at the age of 15. Although she did not have the opportunity to continue her formal" education, Phyllis believed that one should never stop learning. She be a voracious reader all of her life. Phyllis worked for the CPR in North Bay as a stenographer. It was here that she met Ted McCurry, whom she married in 1952. They moved to Rothsay, New Brunswick, then to Toronto and finally to Galt, Ontario.
After Ted died in 1978, Phyllis met and married Jack Vingoe and moved to Etobicoke. Jack died in 1981. Phyllis was a strong woman who believed in the power of positive thinking. She lived independently in Etobicoke for many years. People would meet Phyllis once and remember her as that tall, elegant woman". Phyllis loved to share her passions for ballet, literature, symphony, theatre, travel, bridge and golf with her wide circle of friends. But she was most special to her grandchildren Erin and Blair, of whom she was so proud, her daughter Margot McCurry and son-in-law, Allan Antcliffe. We will miss her greatly. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Ballet of Canada or a charity of your choice.
