Phyllis loved to cook and her cookies and Christmas Fudge is remembered by many family members and friends. She also was an avid reader. She loved books and it was a hobby she could do her entire life. Sewing, quilting, and caring for flowers also brought her much happiness.

Her church family was close to her and she had a special love for them. She will be missed by the many family and friends that she loved.
