She is survived by her children, Everett, Roland (Sharon), Marlene (Al), and Raymond (Hilary) and her cherished grandchildren: Jason (Cindy), Steven (Kate), Sean, Scott (Jen], Jessica (Lorenzo), and Spencer. Each grandchild held a special place in her heart, for whom she had boundless affection.Great-grandchildren Cameron, Joseph, Sophia, and Nash brought immense joy to Phyllis's life, and she reveled in hearing about their exploits. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Predeceased by her husband, Everett, and her siblings Al, Kathleen, and Janet, Phyllis carried their memories in her heart and cherished the special moments they shared throughout her life.

Phyllis had treasured memories of growing up in small-town Nova Scotia and her travels to various corners of the world. These adventures enriched her life and broadened her perspective, leaving her with a wealth of stories and experiences to share with family and friends. Phyllis enjoyed a vibrant social life, fostering meaningful friendships through her involvement in Rotary, winter escapes to Florida, participation in Probus, and through her time living at Chartwell Pickering Centre, and finally Viva Pickering.
