SKOWHEGAN - Phyllis E. Boyle, 97, of Skowhegan, passed away Monday, May 24, 2010, at Woodlawn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Skowhegan.
She was born in Troy on July 31, 1912, the daughter of Arthur and Lottie (Leavitt) Bagley, and she was brought up by her aunt and uncle, Ethel and Mert Bagley of Troy.
Phyllis attended Maine Central Institute in Pittsfield and later attended business school in Bangor.
During the war, she lived on Munjoy Hill in Portland and was employed at the Portland Co., where she learned to weld and work with heavy equipment. She was proud of her contribution. Like many women of that era, she wore slacks for the first time, carried a lunch box, and kept her hair in a turban to avoid getting caught in the machinery. Later, she was employed for many years at Porteous, Mitchell and Braun in Portland.
She was predeceased by her sister, Marie Reynolds.
Her survivors include her daughter Jean Palmer of Kingfield and several cousins. Close friends who gave her much help and support during her illness are Merle and Mavis Bither of Palmyra and Louise Cole of Thorndike.
Burial will follow at Rogers Cemetery in Troy. (Morning Sentinel 5/26/2010)
