Daughter of Charles Malcolm Fraser and Katherine Elizabeth Church, wife of Frank Alexander Champlain, and mother of Frank Malcolm, Faith Katherine (married David Anderson McCutcheon), Philip Fraser, Phebe Lovat (married Nelson Leroy Downs), and Geoffrey Fraser Champlain.
"Most of the young people in Brookhaven knew her as "Granny." I have many good memories and lots of odds and ends of information. Her father was the noted Artist, Charles Malcolm Fraser; his major works were donated to the city of Ormond Beach, FL and a War Memorial Museum was built by the city to house them. As a youngster he got to meet and speak with Queen Victoria in England. Phyllis had many memories as a young girl of going with a friend and her father to Carnegie Hall in NYC on Sunday mornings; while her father visited with various artistic friends who had offices on the second floor, Phyllis and her friend would sit quietly in the balcony and listen to various rehearsals of a number of the major singers and performers of the time, including Enrico Caruso, the great operatic tenor. As a young woman she studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. When I knew her she was a nurse at the county home in Yaphank." - Old Bwana
