OSSPEE, N.H. - Phyllis E. Buck, 89, formerly of Acton, died on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at the Mountain View Community in Ossipee, New Hampshire.

Phyllis was born on March 12, 1930 to Leonard and Gertrude (Smith) Hammel in Plymouth, New Hampshire where she grew up and attended local schools.

Phyllis loved playing golf, going dancing, bowling and doing puzzles.  She had been a very active member of the Acton Congregational Church.  In her retirement she loved going out with friends and family and had been fortunate to go on several trips with her husband Harrison.  She will be remembered as kind and loving woman who was devoted to her family and will be dearly missed.
