She prided herself on the care and compassion she displayed to everyone she interacted with, including all of the patients over the years. In addition to being a nurse, Phyllis was a devoted mother. She enjoyed spending time with her children and family. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas. Growing up she attended dozens of antique car shows, often having her summer family vacations centered around them.

She had an unwavering faith in the Lord throughout her life, attending St. Matthew Catholic Church in Charlotte. Phyllis will best be remembered as being a fighter, Disney-fanatic, and meatball making machine. She will be deeply missed, leaving a significant void in all our hearts.

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all nurses, physicians and staff, her beloved coworkers, and all family and friends for their unwavering compassionate and supportive care that was provided. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
