Which they ALL loved so much.Phyllis and Bill with their close friends founded the Revolutionary War Reenacting and Living History Unit - New Jersey Light Infantry in 1976. Sharing history was a passion of hers and she is fondly remembered as a mentor to many generations of reenactors during her nearly half a century in the hobby. Ms. Phyllis was a supreme cook, loved to read, garden, and to travel. She always enjoyed discovering new places and flavors and generally getting the most joy out of life that she could. She dedicated her life to caring for others. Her door was always open and her phone line always free for any that needed her ever-patient and wise attentions. Also left behind are those children to whom she and Bill opened their home and their hearts, their vast reenacting family, and her cats- Mr. Kitty and Midnight- most recent in a long line of felines by whom she and Bill had been adopted by.
