To all of Phyllis' family and close friends, The community has just lost one of the most vital life forces it has known, a woman who was fiercely loyal, strong-willed and always hopeful. I will miss her, as will her church family. She longed to be with Frank..... rest in peace, Phyllis.
Thinking of you at the sad time. Our family knew your grandparents from a long time relationship at Trinity United Church, both in the choir and the Sunday School. Also, I went to school, as did some of my siblings with Susan and David. Phyllis was a very special woman that always had a smile and friendly disposition no matter what life sent her way. With Sincere Sympathy...Linda Cable Marr and the Cable Family
Dear family I have known Phyllis for years through Trinity church and had the pleasure of singing in the choir with Frank. They were both such wonderful people- Phyllis was so kind, loving and gracious. Peace!
I have known Phyllis since 1962. We were together in Trinity Church Young Couples and in U.C.W.. We have worked, laughed and prayed together. In recent years I have made monthly visits to Phyllis at Palisade and Extendicare . Lately; Phyllis found life difficult but was brave and cheerful. She was so proud of her grandsons. Dear friend, be at everlasting peace. Eleanor

My condolences. I remember serving Phyllis and the girls when I worked dietary at Palisades retirement and then currently at Extendicare where she joined us in communal family, where she had residence in the Pine Wing of the house. My thoughts are with you, your loved ones and those that were closest to you. Continue on Phyllis. You will be in our hearts and minds for many a year to come untill we too shall once again join you, in the great here after.
To the Family of Phyllis, Please know that both your Mom and Dad were very much enjoyed as a part of our Trinity United Church Cobourg family. In their younger days we often worked together in the church kitchen or other church matters. All the promises of God are in Jesus Christ and she is with her Lord as it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:8. The peace of Christ be with you also as you grieve and share your memories.
Sean,Andrew & families I met your grandparents some 25 years ago at Cancer support meetings here in Cobourg. From that time on your grandmother and I became friends along with our special friends Barbara Collier, & Doreen Buttar. We all became widows about the same time remained friends and the four of us had such wonderful times together. I did visit my friend often at Palisade Gardens and again at Extended care Until of course lately due to the virus was not allowed to visit. She was always so much fun, a lovely person and loved all or you so much. I will be making a donation to NHH in her memory and will watch for a date for the Celebration of Life and hope I am able to attend. With love and sincere sympathy. Carol
