Dear Family, Phyllis was my mentor as a general education teacher who worked with her students when she and they came to Cheshire High School. Phyllis was a wonderful inspiring woman and teacher. I am saddened about this news. I saw Phyllis in church and we would wave and she often walked by my house and we would chat about school and life. When I walk to CHS I always knew and felt I was following her footsteps and she was guiding me as I used to watch her walk to school everyday before she retired. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Andrea Sidoruk

Richard, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked in the classroom with Phyllis and just simply adored her! She was always kind, thoughtful and considerate of others and as you know had a smile that could light up any room! I have often thought of her even after leaving the school. I wish you consolation and healing. Diane Annelli

Please know that your family is in the thoughts of all of us in the Cheshire Public Schools. Phyllis had a wonderful way with people. Her smile conveyed such kindness to her students that they immediately felt comfortable with her. Her legacy is carried on through the incredible number of students and adults that she helped lift up over the years. She will be missed.

Phyllis was truly a wonderful human being. She was warm, caring, funny, bright, honest and a great Set Back partner. The world is a sadder place without Phyllis. I have no doubt that she is smiling down on us...especially on her beloved husband.

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.” This quote by Flavia aptly describes the impact that Phyllis had on my life and on the lives of anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was not only a teacher by profession. She was a teacher by example; in the way she conducted her life, the way she related to others, in the way she loved. In comparison to other relationships I've had and cherish from childhood, I knew Phyllis for a brief period of time. But the impact she had on me is profound...like a fine teacher. I will miss her as profoundly as she gave to me: completely, sincerely, joyfully, graciously.
