Dear PCCW Community,

It is with deep sadness, we share that Phyllis Weiss Haserot ’65 passed away on May 20, 2026, after an illness. She was surrounded with love by her son, Zane, and daughter‑in‑law, Cristin.

Phyllis was a devoted and deeply engaged Cornell volunteer whose impact touched every corner of our community. She served on the President’s Council of Cornell Women—most recently contributing her energy and insight to the Mentoring and Community Impact & Belonging Committees—as well as serving as a member of Cornell University Council. She previously served as Vice Chair of the PCCW Engagement Committee and was a loyal presence at Symposium and university events year after year, both in person and virtually.

We honor Phyllis’s generosity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to Cornell.

For anyone who wishes to send a note of condolence to her family, please reach out to Nataki at [email protected] to receive her son’s address.

A celebration of Phyllis' life will be planned for a later date, and information will be shared as it is received. Please keep her family in your heart.
