Born on June 23, 1926, in Randolph, Vermont, she was a daughter of the late Lawrence Benoir and Phyllis Day. Phyllis spent most of her life in her hometown before moving to Easley, South Carolina, in August of 2021 to live with her daughter, Beverly. Phyllis was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother who radiated warmth and joy. Her heart drew family and friends into her embrace with her ready laughter, her love for sharing jokes, and her vibrant spirit. She cherished the times spent with those she loved and found delight in the simple pleasures of life such as country music, square dancing, and tending to her lovely flowers, often accompanied by the birds that visited her garden. Residing with Beverly, Phyllis often found companionship and joy in her daughter’s dog, Gracie, whom she lovingly referred to as her baby. Their bond brought laughter and light into her days, perfectly complementing her affectionate and caring nature. Known for her ability to see the best in everyone around her, Phyllis was a beacon of positivity and love, always encouraging others to embrace goodness.
