Read MoreGateway Festival Orchestra and the St. Louis Community has been so grateful for Phyllis' generosity. She cared so deeply about our community and has seen to it that the care will continue. I have thought of her often in this past year: A role model of joy and passion that we should all aspire to. We miss her presence but have her memory.

Phyllis was always dear friend, beautiful lady. Enjoyed our transportation rides as her driver. She introduced me to Ragdolls. Without her wouldn´t have my Ragdoll kitten! What a special unique cat he is! Thank you, Phyllis!

Phyllis was a visionary! She helped Gateway Festival Orchestra set up our first challenge grant. It opened the way to sustainability. She was generous, kind and always positive. Hopefully her legacy will have a lasting impact on the St. Louis area. She was a treasure in our community and will be missed.

Sweet, lovely, Phyllis. A friend to all, especially musicians - a generous soul who gave of her time and resources to an orchestra dear to me. A fellow cat lover, art lover, patron of so many organizations and individuals. I will be only one of many who will miss her dearly.
