I worked with Phyllis years ago at Citizens Bank. I was a young girl and Phyllis was a manager. She was a woman ahead of the times independent, confident, strong. She was also funny, gracious, and compassionate. Phyllis was a role model for many young women and I feel privileged to have known her. Sympathies to the family.
