March 30, 2026 at 4:45 pmPhyllis knew our family for over 70 years and danced with my mom Bonnie when she was young. As long as I knew her, she always thought of my injury law firm and tried to send business whenever she could. I remember occasionally seeing her on TV on the Jerry Lewis Telethon (working behind the scenes) and thinking, “I know her!” Always so thoughtful and such a giving person to so many. Rest in peace, my friend.

I am sorry to hear that Phyllis has passed away.
We grew up together on River Street many years ago…
Our backyards were near each other so we played together quite often.
I have lived in Florida for many years so I have not seen Phyliss in a long time but we do share memories.
May she rest in Peace.
