PHYLLIS FOX Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 12 to Sep. 13, 2016.
FOX, Phyllis Adele Armstrong 85, of South Yarmouth, passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer, Sunday, September 11, 2016, at home with her family by her side. She was the loving Mother of the Late Thomas J. Fox and Christopher A. Fox. Born and raised in Wayland, New York on May 11, 1931, Phyllis moved to Belmont, MA and finally settled in Waltham for 40 years on Circle Drive. She worked as a legal secretary for the law firm Lane and Altman for many years before retiring. She was married to Terrence Fox and they later divorced. Phyllis always wanted to stay busy, so after a brief retirement she took a job at Fanny Farmer Candies at the Burlington Mall. She said that was her favorite job, and how seeing everyone leaving with candy and smiles made her day. She moved to Yarmouth, MA in 2005. She may be gone in body but not in spirit. Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, September 15, 2016, from 4-7 p.m., in the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave, SOUTH YARMOUTH, MA. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a cancer fund of your choosing, as they all need donations. Hallett Funeral Home South Yarmouth, MA 508-398-2285 www.hallettfuneralhome.com

I will truly miss my dear friend Phyllis. We met over 30 years ago and I have so many wonderful and fun memories of our times to together, from our start at the Cottage Crest in Waltham to our times down The Cape. She was one of my closest friends and I will treasure my memories of her. My deepest sympathy to her family, especially Chris. Rest in Peace my dear Phyllis.

In sympathy,

I'm glad I got to know Phyllis for a short time. I loved her smile. May you rest in God's arms.

I had the pleasure of working together with Phyllis at Lane & Altman for many years and represented her when she sold her house in Waltham. In the early years after moving, she would come to Boston and we would go out to lunch and reminisce about the senior partner in the firm for whom we both worked at one time.

I haven't lived in the neighborhood long and only met Phyllis a few times but will remember her pleasant personality and sense of humor. Will also miss her little dog in the window
