We were long-time neighbors in Irvington Park, and
appreciated her faithful work as Treasurer of the Association ... She always reminded us to pay our annual dues ! She was often hard at work in her
yard and inspired us to do the same ! We were blessed to know her.

I believe Phyllis has two nieces, and to them and their families, I extend my sincerest condolences. I worked closely with Phyllis for years and, while we sometimes had different views, she taught me so very much that I could never adequately thank her. It was also so important that she helped make places for women in bank administration. I'm so glad she was able to travel the around the world!
