Underneath all of her interests, Phyllis was devoted to Jesus. She was active in the UCW, was the Sunday School Superintendent and shared her joy in music with both Church and SundaySchool. Her love of children and willingness to serve her community also led Phyllis to lead the Girl Guides. She touched many, many lives. Beyond all of this, her crowning achievement was the love she showered on David and their three daughters and grandson. She leaves behind her beloved husband David, her three daughters Melanie, Jeanette and Sue Anne, her Grandson Jordan, Her Sisters Vina, Manlyn, and Dale, Brother Stafford. She was predeceased by her Mother (Ada), Father (Isaiah) and Brother (Winston). The Funeral service will be held on Friday December 1st, 2017 at 2:00pm from the Raleigh United Church with Rev.
