Phyllis was born in Canterbury, Kent, England. Her childhood was filled with trips to the sea and absolute happiness with her family. During WWII, she met and later married Charles Buchanan a Canadian Solider. After the war as a young war-bride Phyllis took the long and incredibly brave journey across the Atlantic on the Queen Mary, eventually settling in Stratford where she and Charles grew their family. She was a gentle and caring woman with a contagious laugh who dedicated her life to her family, and never lost her love for all things British, often spending weekends being driven to all her favorite British Stores
She is survived by her Children; Sandra Wreford (Arthur), Andrea Marshall, Harvey Buchanan, Michele Buchanan (Maxine Smith). Grandchildren; Dwayne Wreford (Tari), Tara Chamberlain (Rob), Derek Marshall (Joanne), Kyle Marshall (Lindsay) and Meghan Marshall.
