We knew Phyllis as a very gracious and generous lady. Phyllis was a very special person; always making sure she put in 100 percent or more in whatever she did. We will always remember her friendly smile. SHE WAS VERY WELL RESPECTED. - Posted by: Dwight and Retha Cochrane (Tammie McIntyre's Parents ) on: Mar 26, 2016
