PHYLLIS REESE GILBERT

Almost sixty years later, I still feel thankful for Mrs. Gilbert´s instruction. She embraced the English language and literature to the point of reaching this wild child with her enthusiasm. Bless her heart.

Very sorry to have just learned this news. A wonderful teacher and person--she instilled in me her love of literature.

While it saddens me to hear of Mrs. Gilbert's passing I can take solace in the joy I had of having her as one of my teachers. She was a caring inspiration to me and all of her students. Rest well and thank you, Mrs G!

Mrs. Phyllis Gilbert was my mother's best friend as I was growing up. We all spent many holiday cookouts together and every New Year's Eve on a rotation at the Gilbert's, Anderson's and Carpenter's. Lots of great memories. Kate, may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Gilbert was a wonderful teacher. She was so kind but firm with her corrections. I had her for English at Dennison in 72/73. She chose me to represent the school in a speech contest sponsored by the Rotary Club. I will never forget her!

Mrs. Gilbert was such an inspiring woman. I was privileged to have her as an English teacher and a role model for my own teaching career. She was deeply loved by all of her students and will be missed!

Phyllis Gilbert's memory will be part of the City of Winter Haven forever because of her contributions to the Friends of the Library and the community.

Phyllis was a sweet ,wonderful woman> She will be missed. Blessing to her family.

I am sad to she is no longer in this world. My condolences to Kate.
