NATICK: Phyllis (Price) Tanck, 86, of Natick, passed away peacefully after a period of declining health on Thursday, December 27th. We mourn the loss of a smiling friend and a loving mother.
Born and raised in Boston’s North End, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Rose (Serino) Novello. After marrying, Phyllis and the late James Price moved to Framingham where they lived for many years. Phyllis retired from St. Patrick’s Manor after many years as a housekeeper. She was a member of the Red Hats and active in the Natick Senior Center participating in chair volleyball as well as other social activities. She enjoyed playing bingo, trips to Foxwoods Casino and spending time with friends, and most of all, spending time with her family. Her grandchildren were her hearts delight.
Phyllis was a social gal and either knew someone or made a new friend everywhere she went. She was an inspiration and enhanced the lives of those she touched; she was adored by all that knew her. Phyllis leaves a legacy of many happy memories and her spirit and love for life lives on through her loving family.
In addition to her parents, Phyllis is predeceased by her beloved husband of 35 years, James Price; her second husband, Arthur Tanck, her daughter, Dana Sharma and her sister, Delores Katz.
She is survived by her daughters Roseann Wodeyla and her husband David of Natick, Cheryl Murray and her husband Wesley of Uxbridge, and Marcia Corcoran and her husband Bob of West Boylston; her son in law, Ken Sharma; her grandchildren, Mike, Bob, Melissa, Justin, Matt, Dan and Brianna and her great grandchildren, Nathan, Kristina, Tyler and Ryan.
Family and friends are invited to a visitation in the Chapel of John Everett & Sons Funeral Home, 4 Park Street, Natick, MA 01760 on Wednesday, January 2nd, from 11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. A service will follow at 1:00 P.M. in the Chapel.
