There are two death records for Phyllis Short-s in Surrey 1894-2005 that don't really seem to match up with your Mr. Short, unless she was older than him, the first one being the best match:


Phyllis Kathleen Short 16 May 1910 Oct 1988 78 Surrey Mid-Eastern Surrey

Phyllis Mary Short 8 Mar 1907 Oct 1988 81 Croydon London, Surrey

thank you and im very sorry i didnt reply sooner but have only just read your message i will look into the information about john i know that phyllis was born in 1912 and believe she passed away in 1943

You're welcome! -- that was no time at all, as GR time goes. Good luck, and thanks for the PM!
