In her earlier years Phyllis worked Connor’s Brothers in Back Bay. She then took on the task of homemaker and raising her beloved family and running the household. When able she loved knitting as well as doing word search puzzles. A big part of her life was church and her Bible, as well as spending time with her family especially her grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her family and all that knew her.
