Phllis Cordell

I´m driving to Gadsden for a COVID 19 shot and thought fondly of Phyllis driving that commute to work at Southern Living. I miss her great smile and personality.

phylis always was the true southern belle always smiling . I spent many a holiday a minnie and wallace's house food was great. she will always be a special person and memory to me.

Dee I am so sorry about Phyllis and have great memories about some of the SL cooking schools and trips. Even rember her first day at work!,

Phyllis was lovely,gracious and delightful. She was my mentor during my time with the PF /SL Cooking School. One newspaper we worked with described her in an article as unflappable. I like to remember her that way! Jake and I are keeping Dee and family in our prayers.

Dee, I am so sorry for your loss. I have many memories of life at Southern Living working with Phyllis. The framed "Kitchen Prayer" she gave me in 1978 still hangs in my kitchen, not far from Steve Martin's autograph, which she got for me when she saw him at a restaurant. She was always thinking of what she could do for other people. I am grateful that we reconnected at the SLCS in Estero, FL (I think it was 2001). My thoughts and prayers are with you.

dee if I could find the right words I would . she will always be special to me.sere you Saturday danny brantley

So terribly sorry to hear about this. Have know of her health issues for a number of years and lifted lots of prayers.

Probably my favorite memory of her is the two of us going to an Auburn vs. Florida game in Gainesville probably 40 years ago. Our Auburn team lost. Walking afterwards back to the car she tired to snatch a rubber chicken being dangled out of a car on a pole. Not a good idea in Gainesville.

May God Bless.

Knowing and working with Phyllis at Southern Living Cooking School was pure delight. I learned so much about cooking, manners, and the "Southern Way" of being a hostess. My thoughts are with Dee and her entire family.
