Former longtime Little Silver resident and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High (RFH) School Class of 1952 graduate Phyllis Ann Darragh passed away on Feb. 10 at her son’s home in Windham, NH. She was 87.

Born at Riverview Medical Center, Red Bank, to the late William and Ann (Olsen) Myatt, after graduating from RFH in 1952, Phyllis worked as a Group Manager for New Jersey Bell/AT&T and Verizon for roughly 30 years. She took 10 years off to be a full time mom and raise her son.

“She enjoyed traveling to Europe, going to Florida for the winter as a snowbird, playing cards, shuffleboard, golf and spending time with family.
She was always willing to help friends out and lend a helping hand anyway she could.”
