JONAH, PHYLLIS M. - 1931-2012 - Phyllis M. Jonah, 80, of Hillsborough passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 at the Moncton Hospital. Phyllis was born on October 28th, 1931 in Woodpoint, NB, she was the daughter of the late Earl and Dorothy (Wheaton) Snowdon. Phyllis was a member of the First Hillsborough United Baptist Church. She worked as a Custodian at the Caledonia Regional High School until her retirement. She was a very kind lady who loved to laugh, she will be remembered for her great sense of humour and her quick wit. She enjoyed bingo and gardening in her flower beds. She had a special place in her heart for animals especially her dog, Sheba. Her family meant everything to her and she cherished all the time spent with them.
