Phyllis was a kind, compassionate soul who always put others before herself.  She thoroughly enjoyed family gatherings and savored life’s greatest moments with her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.  Phyllis knew no stranger.  She was a fighter, an inspiration to all who knew her, and a soul who always saw the glass as half full.  Phyllis had a strong will, unwavering faith in God, and the love and support of all her friends and family throughout her battle with cancer.  Her sweet and simple demeanor will never be forgotten.  May her memory forever live on in our hearts.
