Phyllis M. Doyle, 75, Diamond, entered into rest on August 12, 2018 at her home, following a battle with pancreatic cancer. She remained strong and brave throughout her illness and her faith gave her great comfort.

She moved to Diamond in 1976 and was a school bus driver for the Diamond Public school for 42 years.

She enjoyed showing her support for the Diamond Wildcats and had numerous family, close friends and kids she cared about.
