Not sure what to say?

I became acquainted with Phyllis when she first joined the IU faculty; in fact, we shared an office for quite awhile. I could always depend on Phyllis to be forthright and honest about her perspectives on the many topics we discussed. Her insights and suggestions were always helpful, particularly in her review of my dissertation. She was truly inspirational. I will miss her very much. My condolences to Rick and the family.



Phyllis was a kind and generous person whom I will always remember for her contributions to so many faculty successes in scholarship. And her willingness to ask questions and provide sincere comments during faculty meetings which uncovered what some other staff and faculty were thinking was priceless.

God Bless Your Soul Phyllis. Your many contributions to the school of nursing were much appreciated! My condolences and best regards to Rick and the entire Dexter family.

I am sad to learn that Phyllis has passed. I know the last years during her long illness were hard for her and the family. She helped so many faculty become better writers and have successful publishing careers. I will always Romberg her passion to " get it right." Mary Fisher

I will always be thankful for the support and encouragement that Phyllis extended to me. She will be so missed by so many! My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

I am thinking of your family at this difficult time.

I never sent out a manuscript or proposal without Phyllis's editorial suggestions! She was ever so kind and encouraging. Rest peacefully my friend!

It was such a pleasure to know and work with Phyllis. Her kind heart and gentle spirit made her a very special person with which to spend time. The School of Nursing will miss her terribly.
