Phyllis was one of the loveliest ladies ever and a great wife to my cousin Patsy. They were truly a great couple and fabulous dancers! I loved watching them dance at all the Donegal Balls and all the weddings. My Dad, Frank McDevitt and my Mom Neliie always raved about Patsy and Phyllis.
Your smile and kindness and loving heart will remain with us forever
