Phyllis Irene Duggan, age 89 of Kentville, passed away July 4th, 2023, at the Evergreen Home for Special Care in Kentville.  Born on July 17th, 1933, in Alliston, PEI, she was a daughter of the late John and Jessie (Mclean) Thompson.  Phyllis was predeceased by her husband of 56 years Alan Francis and her sisters Jean, Verna, and brother Robert.  Phyllis was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Phyllis held many professions in her life in Halifax from salesclerk at Eaton's Department Store, real estate agent, and office administrator before moving to the Valley where she became property/office manager at Basin View Village (Wolfville Court Apartments) before retiring and then spending many years in PEI with her husband Alan.  They returned to Nova Scotia in 2004 due to Alan's failing health.  Phyllis was very much involved with the Kingsway Assembly and its 50s + group membership.  She was always a gracious hostess, loved music and reading, and her bubbly personality will be greatly missed.

Phyllis is survived by her son Lloyd Edward, daughter Lisa Bette (Ted) van Trigt granddaughters: Ashley Crowell and Emma Crowell (Chris Forrest), and several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at Evergreen Home for Special Care, nurses, and doctors, for all their care of Phyllis during her final journey.
