Phyllis absolutely loved being near the ocean, which was reflected in her home décor and collection of seashells. She was a woman who could stand in her truth and never hesitated to advocate for herself and those she loved. Another part of her strength was the comfort she received from her faith in God. Throughout her life she participated in many parish activities including becoming a Eucharistic Minister and a devoted pilgrim to religious sites throughout the world.

Sister in law of Connie's husband Raymond of NH. As a cherished aunt, Phyllis became a second mother to many nieces and nephews, with whom she shared special relationships.
