Phyllis was known for her homemade fudge and popcorn balls. This turned into a family tradition and everyone enjoyed making them with her or receiving them as a gift!

People left knowing that the importance of life was to spend time with the people you love. She will be dearly missed.
Phyllis was an inspiration as she always had such a positive attitude! At the end she was diagnosed with lung cancer and gave it a strong fight!
