Phyllis Marcus

"Smile, though your heart is breaking..." Thank you for the joy and love you gave to all of us-- in spite of the pain and heartbreak you kept inside. I'll miss you my dear and beautiful Aunt.

Aunt Phyllis will be remembered for her life's work by all who got the pleasure of her company. She was the life of any party or gathering and she knew it!
With love and fond memories,
Robert Rudy

As a friend of Adele's, I met you at several parties some years back. You often sang and entertained us. I know you will be missed by the many who knew and loved you.

Oh, Auntie Phyllis, I'll miss you! So full of life, so full of love, ever so curious and forever young. You lit up the lives of all those around you, and made the world a better place just by being in it.

Phyllis was my great aunt, Grandma Mimi's sister. All us kids called her Auntie Filly Folly. She was full of fun for us kids and sang to us, make us happy with her invisible dog and taught us to be proud of ourselves. She blessed my life with her love for little me and I will never forget her. A bright star in the sky of my life!

In early November I met Phyllis for the first time at Heritage House, although over the years having heard much about her and her unique life from her sister Adele. Bruce and Carol, Phyllis's very loving and attentive son and daughter in law along with Adele introduced me to her. Even though she was in a subdued state she immediately perked up and I could feel all of the substance and charm that had once been her everyday persona in life. As I spoke with her she responded mostly with...

PHYLLIS WAS A WONDERFUL ENTERTAINER, I AM AN ACTIVITY DIRECTOR. PHYLLIS WOULD COME AND ENTERTAIN THE RESIDENTS AS FLAME FOLLY. THEY REALLY ENJOYED HER! SHE GAVE HER HEART AND SOUL WHEN ENTERTAINING. SHE WAS GREAT!

It's your sister............gosh, I miss
you. I've never written a fan letter to
you so this is my first one. I'm going
to miss you and our music making and
memories that only we share. Love you
in our forevers.
