PHYLLIS LEONE AMOS

PHYLLIS LEONE AMOS (nee SCOTT) Sadly Phyllis passed away in the arms of her nieces on the evening of June 27, 2012. Phyllis was born in Boissevain, Manitoba on May 26, 1924, and was the second of five children. From an early age, she loved literature which led to her teaching career It has been said that she passed on her passion helped by the tight ship she ran. Phyllis has taught in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northern Ontario, settling in Toronto. In addition, her teachings brought her to London, England, China and Ethiopia. Teaching Geography led her to becoming a world traveller. There isn't much of the world that Phyllis hasn't left her footprint on. There is no single word that can describe Phyllis, except for one - "indescribable"! Phyllis was predeceased by her parents, Russell George Scott and Margaret Irene Scott (Donley), and sister Shirley Thompson. She is survived by siblings Margaret Murchison, Dorothy Scott and George Scott, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, her Toronto "family", and numerous friends from all corners of the world. A Service of Remembrance will be held at the Simple Alternative Funeral Home, 275 Lesmill Road, Toronto on Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 2 p.m. In keeping with Phyllis' generous nature, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heart & Stroke Foundation.
