Phyllis Tedeschi May, the devoted wife of David May of Somers, Connecticut, has passed on to her next life. Phyllis, a lifetime Connecticut resident, was born in Waterbury, CT to Rose Obremski and Edward Wells. She was eighty-seven. Phyllis spent her early years in ball parks enjoying sports with her boys and piling the kids in the station wagon to practice and games. She was fondly referred to as "Mrs. T" by all the kids in town. She first worked as a teacher's aide in the Vernon school system. She was dedicated to supporting students with intellectual disabilities and continued this important work for many years with the State of Connecticut. She treasured her beloved students and made them a part of her family. Phyllis also enjoyed a lengthy career as a hairdresser until her retirement. She loved working on hair and critiqued every hair style she saw! Known for her awesome deviled eggs and meatballs, Phyllis loved her New York Yankees, Bingo and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
