Phyllis Helene Dobrin

December 13th, 2016

I have been volunteering at Lake Louise School since my children started kindergarten there (they are 16 and 14 now). While my children did not have Mrs. Dobrin as a teacher, I did see her frequently around the school and in the library. She was kind and I enjoyed chatting with her about different things including beading. My deepest sympathy to the Dobrin & Bain families during this difficult time.

Mrs. Dobrin was my fifth grade teacher back in 1995. I vividly remember her troll and dreidel collections that she eagerly shared with all of us, the house we built from milk jugs for the Diary of Ann Frank, her love for dioramas, and our neon hats full of pins that decked the classroom walls. She was one of my greatest influences for me becoming a teacher. I frequently use the strategies she used with her class with my own students. I have had the pleasure of visiting with her and Billy in Grand Cayman. Through the magic of Facebook I was able to stay in touch with her through the years and distance. She will be greatly missed. A donation will be made in her name to Donors Choose to help fund a project at Lake Louise.

Phyllis was a special friend to me. My family was lucky enough to travel with Phyllis & Bill. We always had a grand time. I will always cherish the special memories we got to make together. Pearl shopping was a favorite pastime for us both, & Phyllis really knew her stuff. Phyllis was so creative & full of spirit. I will cherish my special gifts she made for me. I will forever miss her. When I see a sparkle in my path, that will be Phyllis saying hi to me, forever more
