Phyllis Shiro Obituary
Phyllis cared deeply for other people, including her long-time friends and her Norwood "mom" friends. She was a devoted fan of the Boston Celtics, never missed her favorite soap operas, and truly cherished the time she spent catching up with loved ones on the phone and in person. Phyllis' most important relationship was with her son, Lee and her three grandchildren. She always looked forward to celebrating holidays with her family and friends. Some of her fondest memories include growing up on Revere Beach, time with her friends, and of course her dog Brandy.
She is survived by her son, Lee Shiro, and his wife, Liz; her cherished grandchildren, Rose, Eliana, and Jacob Shiro; and her brother, Steve Grossman.
