Phyllis was a vibrant soul, known for her love of horses and her dedication to helping others as a member of the YWCA. She spent many years as a school bus driver for special needs children, where her compassion touched countless lives.
She was an active sports enthusiast, enjoying volleyball, curling, and bowling. Together with Bill, friends and family they enjoyed many good times laughing, dancing, and singing. Phyllis brought joy and warmth to everyone she met, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and love.
