Phyllis received a BA in History and a MA in Adult Education from Boston University and spent the years in her early career working with senior citizens helping to organize social action projects. While working for the State of Maryland, she worked in the office that was responsible for the overseeing and regulation of many of the state’s nursing homes. She left the position to raise her children and explore her artistic talents.

Phyllis is survived by her daughter, Esther Greenberg; son-in-law Michael Greenberg; and granddaughters, Emma and Clara.
