Phyllis was born June 9, 1939 in Newport, Rhode Island, the daughter of the late Charles Sears Sr. and Mary (Nunes) Sears. She was the beloved wife of the late Vittorio Ruttino; loving mother of Debbie Ruttino, Nevea (Ray) Ledesma and Denao (Jackie) Ruttino; cherished grandmother of Sean, Lexis (Jon), Jenea (John) and Jalicia and great-grandmother of Nhile; dear sister of Stanley, Ronnie, and the late Charles, Gary, Roger and Shirley; adored aunt of many.
Phyllis loved people and animals and expressed this love openly every day with hugs, conversation and acts of kindness. She cherished time with family, especially her children, grandchildren and their families. She was best known for saying exactly what she was thinking at any time, her great sense of humor and bringing laughter to any room or situation.
Phyllis would give to others without any expectations. Her heart would be full knowing she could make someone’s day by a simple sweet gesture. She was our butterfly, fluttering around people’s hearts and leaving lasting memories to cherish forever.
