I will always remember Phyllis as the prettiest girl in school. With her warm personality, it doesn't surprise me that she became a RN.
May you rest in Heavenly peace, Phyllis.

Phyllis was funny, driven, intelligent and beautiful inside and out.. We worked together for Mariner and had a great friendship outside of work. Our journeys through life took different directions and it was not so easy to keep in touch. As the years passed communication was diminished.. Our last phone call was upbeat with our usual laughter and friendly banter. Phyllis will be missed but always in my memories of the antics we experienced during our lengthy friendship. May you rest in peace, sweet friend and may we meet again. The Irish Lasses will stroll the peaceful green together once again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Phyllis's family and friends. She and I taught swimming lessons at Sandy Pond and created many wonderful memories with a great circle of friends during high school. She was a very inspiring and empowering woman with determination to succeed and she did! Phyllis will be greatly missed by many. Rest In Peace my sweet friend.

So sorry to hear the passing of Phyllis. I went to Ayer High School and played field hockey with her. I remember how talented, smart, kind and beautiful she was. She was a bright light in this world. Sending hugs and prayers to all of her loved ones
