Phyllis (Belsky) Feld of Gloucester passed away suddenly on May 23rd, 2023 surrounded by family and cherished friends.

Phyllis was born July 12th 1941 in Boston, raised on Blue Hill Ave in Mattapan with her older brothers Larry and Gerry. In her youth she spent countless summers camping at state parks along Cape Cod with her parents, Max and Ida.

She attended Jeremiah E Burke High School and continued her education at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. She married Jerry Feld in 1970, living in Jamaica Way Tower before settling in Brookline MA, where she made many lifelong friendships. She had a lengthy career working for M Brown and Company, designing offices and commercial interiors for 17 years before starting her family, giving birth to her sons Jonah and Gabriel.

In her second career as an artist, she began her studies at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with still life painting and later became a plein air painter travelling to France, Italy, and outer Cape Cod. Her passion for art led her to memberships of the Newton, Concord, and North Shore Arts Association and an associate member of the Rockport Arts Association.

She was a deeply devoted daughter, caring for her parents in their later years, especially her beloved mother Ida who lived to 104. She was an equally devoted grandmother to Miles, Maisy and Elliott, who brought her endless pride and joy.

Phyllis is survived by her brothers Larry and wife Elaine, Gerry and wife Evelyn, her son Jonah and wife Gillian, and her three grandchildren. She is predeceased by her parents, her husband Jerry, and her son Gabriel.

Services will be held on May 25, 2023 at Sharon Memorial Park at 1:45 followed by Shiva at her home.
