NORTHBRIDGE - Phyllis M. Roy, 92, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2022, with family by her side. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 66 years, Gerard E. Roy in 2020.
      She is survived by her five children Denise (Roy) Lachapelle and her husband David of Northbridge, Joseph Roy and his wife Kathy of Buzzards Bay, David Roy and his wife Anne of Harwich, William Roy of Whitinsville and Kenneth Roy of Grafton; six grandchildren, David Lachapelle, Christopher Lachapelle, Joseph Roy, Jill Roy, Benjamin Roy and Bailey Roy; and four great-grandchildren: Taylah, Emma, Brayden and Kristina Roy, as well as many nieces and nephews.
      Born in Milford, Massachusetts on July 21, 1930, Phyllis was the beloved daughter of the late James and Lillian Benjamin of Uxbridge. She attended Good Shepherd Elementary School and was a graduate of  St. Mary's High School in Milford. Phyllis worked briefly in Uxbridge and Framingham before marrying Gerry in 1954 and becoming a caring and selfless mother to her five children. She loved her family very much and most enjoyed times when all of her family was together.
        Phyllis enjoyed many years in her home and spent lots of hours tending to her beautiful flower gardens. She was an avid Patriots and Red Sox fan and enjoyed watching the games with Gerry. Phyllis also enjoyed many years of playing golf after raising her children. As a member of Pine Ridge in Upton, then Saddle Hill in Hopkinton and finally Green Hill in Worcester, she played couples golf with Gerry and their good friends Cindy and Fred on the weekends. During the week Phyllis played in two women's leagues, Worcester County Women's Golf Association and Women's Golf Association of Massachusetts, travelling to many golf courses around the state. Phyllis got a hole in one at Shaker Farms in Westfield, Massachusetts and was proud of her accomplishment. She was a very active member of these women's leagues and made many friends along the way. Phyllis was also a member of St. Patrick's Church and served alongside her husband as 1st Co-Chair couple for Family Life from 1967-1972.
        Phyllis was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and will be deeply missed by her family.
