Phyllis E. Boilard

Phyllis Ella Boilard, 98, passed away passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Lewiston, NY on July 22, 2026. Phyllis was born in August of 1927 in Northampton, MA, to the late William A. Rogers, Sr. and Ella M. (Frenier) Rogers. She grew up in Indian Orchard, MA and was a graduate of Classical High School. Phyllis was married to the late William "Bill" G. Boilard for 55 years at the time of his death in 2001. After high school she worked at Mass Mutual Life Insurance Co., then for a short, but very interesting time, on a department store security team.

Over the years she and Bill enjoyed boating, square dancing, RV camping and traveling to Europe. They spent their retirement years enjoying life in North Ft. Myers, Florida and summering in Massachusetts. Besides Indian Orchard, they also lived in Ludlow and Agawam, MA. Wherever they lived, their home was the site of many joyous holiday gatherings and picnics with friends and family.

Phyllis was predeceased by sons, Paul and David, daughter Anne Kelley, her dear brother, William Rogers, and a cherished niece, Kathie McCormick. She is survived by her sons, Timothy (Emily) of Ludlow, John of Holyoke and daugher Susan Loughran of Lewiston, NY.
