I will miss Auntie Phyllis more than words can say. I will miss sharing coffee and laughter with her over the phone almost daily. She is a very special lady - one of a kind. She will ALWAYS be remembered. Sorry for your loss to Marilyn, Donna and Dan and all of the family.

I can still feel the eager excitement that I felt when we found out Aunite Phyllis was coming to Butte. The three sisters chatting away downstairs in our family room. I can still hear their voices, their laughter. I think of her often dancing at my reception, and the fact that she could barely move the next day. I feel proud that I was named after her. I will miss her greatly.
Much love!! Ellenmarie

My Aunt Phyllis was always a very gracious, warm, loving person to be around and I treasure memories of our etended Shaughnessy family get togethers in Butte, Montana. AUnt Phyllis always added some extra fun to the get togethers when she could be there. And I will never forget her truly remarkable dancing when we were all at a family wedding in Butte many summers ago.
