    I want to give my condolences to Phyllis’ friends and family. I worked with Phyllis for 3 years at the WL Library. She was so kind, hilarious and caring. I never heard her say an unkind word, & she was always one of my favorite people to talk to. She gave me SO many incredible book recommendations over the years; I’ll always cherish our memories & think of Phyllis every time I read one of “our” books💜

    Phyllis was a fine person. I worked with her many years ago at West Lafayette Public Library. She was always kind to everyone and always positive. She helped me in more ways than I can count when I worked there as a library back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I was a children’s librarian when I first started working there and she helped me organize the summer reading club as the new librarian. The Yellow Brick Road was the theme. We had a community service worker who was hearing impaired. That was when Phyllis became interested in sign language, and according to this obituary, this interest continued throughout her life. The angels of heaven will be glad to greet Phyllis Hamilton. She was one of the best souls to ever walk this planet.
