Phyllis SPENCE
(née Friery)

Dear Linda, Sandra, Adele and families. So sad to see that your Mum has passed. I have many happy childhood memories of your Mum and Dad, and still use the little tennis towel they gave me for Christmas nearly 50years ago. Auntie Phyllis had the same lovely smile as my Dad. Sending love to you all. X

I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your lovely Mum. I have so many great childhood memories of the Spence family. Phyllis was a lovely lady and a great neighbour.
Sending love to you all,

Sorry to hear to news of Phyllis passing. Only heard this sad news today. Condolences to all the girls and family.

So sad to hear about Phyllis. She was an eager member of my exercise class in St Brigids. We have and will miss her smiling face and humour. What a woman !

Linda, Sandra and Adele, I was so sorry to hear of your lovely mum's passing. I have lots of fond memories of her - and your Dad - as we were growing up, and how much fun I had learning to play cricket with them. She had such a great smile and a lovely warming laugh, always welcoming a chat when I'd meet her on my trips home from London in more recent years. She will be greatly missed.

I have so many happy memories of dear Phyllis and all the laughs we had together.
I will miss her greatly. We were always such good friends and I will always remember the good times we had together.
With my enduring love to my dear cousin,
Joy xxxx

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-Anam dílis.
Suaimhneas síoraí uirthi
I líonta Dé go gCastar sinn.
Tá sí in-éineacht lena fearchéile anois.
Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís.

May she RIP

So sad to hear of the passing of one of our best loved and respected staff members. Phylis was a fantastic Badminton coach who masterminded so many triumphs for our school. She loved the battles and had the respect of every student she guided in competition. Phylis was more than a coach though she was a teacher and a mother to all her students and loved to see them love all sports. She always spoke so proudly of all her family and our condolences to all who will miss her so much. May Phylis Rest in Peace.

From all at Sutton Park School.

Sincere sympathy to Linda, Sandra and Adele on the passing of Phyllis. Happy parish memories of your mum (and dad). My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

To Sandra, Adele, Linda, and extended families, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of Phyllis.

I have many warm memories of Phyllis, but my favourite is undoubtedly when my 7-year-old niece visited us at Halloween, and was disappointed because she hadn't got a costume in which to take part in the festivities, Halloween being unknown in her own country.

No problem to Phyllis! Inside five minutes, Phyllis had fashioned an Autumn-themed costume out of a black bin bag with some leaves sellotaped to it, and out went one very happy niece with the Spence kids!

Phyllis, the "Queen Bee", was a part of the community, with her ever-ready smile, willingness to help, quirky sense of humour, and cheeky "toot toot" and sideways glance as she passed by, piloting her car up to the shops. She'll be sadly missed.

Deepest sympathy to Phyllis’s family on her sad passing.
Kay, Killester Bridge Club

Deepest sympathies to all of Phyllis's family, especially to Sandra, Freya, Gemma and Andy. Phyllis was my badminton coach in Mount Temple. I was a shy child in first year who didn't like any sports much, but Phyllis gave me a confidence in and a love of badminton, and I loved her for that.

Sincerest sympathy on the sad loss of your mother. Playing bridge alongside her in St. Mary’s in Howth was always a pleasure. She will be missed.
