The family has fond memories of skiing in New Hampshire, visits to "Nana and Pop-Pop" in Marco Island, and vacations out west skiing and horseback riding. Phyllis enjoyed entertaining and spending quality time with her many friends. Phyllis' love for her family and friends will be forever cherished by those she touched.
