Upon cutting found two purple rings, one thick on a freshly dead root, and a faint one on a more dried out root. No trace of purple on the leaves otherwise, though the flowers were pink-purple. I trashed it.

Would you attribute this to fusarium?

Not enough information. What were your temperatures? Humidity? How were you watering? That looks like a struggling Phal whose root zone was too dry.
