Phyllis
was born in Houston, Texas, in 1942. She moved with her
parents, Abraham (Al), Eva, and sister Sandy, to Lynn,
Massachusetts.
When
she was 16-years-old, she and her parents moved from Lynn to
Swampscott, Massachusetts and in 1959, she enrolled at the
University of Massachusetts and graduated in '63. The "flip"
(hair-do) was in at that time.
She
married Jerry in 1963 and they moved to Philadelphia for one
year…until he graduated from the Univ. of Pennsylvania Dental
School in 1964. After graduation, they
returned to Lynn. Jerry graduated from Boston University
School of Graduate Dentistry and opened a periodontal practice
in Malden, Massachusetts. Phyllis became pregnant in 1965
with Bradley, her first of two sons. She gave birth to
Michael in 1971.
Phyllis was a speech and hearing therapist in her early married
life, a business owner during her mid-life crisis, and an office
manager for her husband’s dental practice for 25 years.
She changed her hair-do as well.

Her grandchildren are her joys, so allow me to
present them to you.
