DAVELL, Phyllis Elaine, age 75, of Dayton, passed away Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at Miami Valley Hospital.  Phyllis was the most giving person with the biggest heart. Her love for giving back led her to become a kindergarten teacher at Patterson Kennedy Elementary School, retiring after 33 years of service. She was also a member of The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Philoptochos Society, Daughters of Penelope, Maids of Athena, NEA and a Sunday School Teacher.  She was very proud of her Greek heritage and loved attending church functions and volunteering her services for the Greek festival each year. Phyllis was loved by so many friends and family. She made it a point to stay in touch with everyone she could. She cared deeply for her family and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed annual family vacations and being with her grandchildren and watching them grow up meant the world to her. Her smile and love she shared with so many will continue to live on in all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed.
