“My mother was an inspiration to anyone fighting for their lives,' said her son Christopher. 'She beat lung cancer, years later she beat breast cancer. And for the last few years battled COPD until her fight finally ended this morning.”
That abrasive on-air personality was what hooked people, but there was so much more. Still, it was that strength she carried with her in her personal health wars.Her daughter Tina lost her own battle with breast cancer in 2010.“Those of you who knew her radio personality Phyllis Of Mulga may be under the wrong impression of her character, allow me to correct that,” her son explained.
“The fire in her calls was always to pull for an underdog or to defend someone being unjustly attacked. She was the kind of woman instead of being buried in her breast cancer wig she adored, she asked me to donate it to a cancer patient in need. Her faith in God was stalwart and absolutely unshakable even in the face of disease and losing both of her daughters and her husband, my Father. She would rather give you something than keep it herself.
The effort among Finebaum callers to help Phyllis raise money for medical costs was heart-warming to say the least.“It has renewed my faith in humanity. I can’t believe that many people care about me,”Finebaum plans to pay tribute to Phyllis from Mulga during Thursday’s show.
