Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten. She enjoyed gardening and spending time with family friends and her many pets.
The great memories Phyllis has provided will sustain us as we celebrate her life for many years to come. Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear.
