I was so sorry and shocked to hear of Phyllis’s passing. I did not know her well in high school but got to know her here in Florida during our few Southwest Florida NHS reunions. She was an independent fun loving woman having been divorced for many years and driving her pick up truck with her dearly beloved dogs. How she loved those ‘babies ‘ of hers and her life in Largo! We will miss you dear Phyllis....

I will never forget Phyllis “peeling out” of the parking lot in her truck after lunch at the Sea Hut several years ago. . We couldn’t stop laughing! She was so cool! And she will be sorely missed here in Florida.

I remember Phyllis from childhood and through high school. She always had a friendly smile. I was able to reonnect with her through facebook. She loved Florida and her dogs. I have fond memories of her. She will be missed.
