Obituaries :1 Phyllis Schwartz knows well how to step up to the plate. The retired social worker and lifelong volunteer scrubbed floors at a camp for kids with cancer, taught adults with mental illness how to cook and spearheads Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network's volunteer support group. In all she does, Phyllis finds her own visits with Jewish terminally ill patients the most inspiring. "I get a sparkle in my eye when I can engage my patients in their memories," she said. "Listening to stories about how they survived difficult times and shared joys is the most uplifting experience I've ever had." The JEW SHOSPICE P yllis Schwartz e & CHAPLAINCY NETWORK" 6555 W.
