I knew Phyllis with her husband Ernest Goodman and later with Lewis George. She was good to and with both of them. I will never forget her spirit and energy and attitude for a good time. She never complained. She will be sorely missed.

Our hearts are saddened as we say goodbye to our sweet friend.. what a fun gal she was.. always upbeat, kind, gentle and a very giving lady.. we loved playing dominos with her, she helped make the game even more fun when she played.. she then joined our Red Hat Duchess Diva's group in January this year, just a month ago, and needless to say, we didn't get the chance to enjoy all that she would bring to our group.. she was so well loved by all of us and we truly will miss her.. check out the photo gallery and see what a beautiful Diva she was in our group..
We loved you Phyllis and we will truly miss your beautiful smile and great sense of humor. RIP sweet friend..
