I was fortunate to be part of her Christ Church family and will always remember her wonderful, caring personality and her smile! Enjoyed her company in our Thursday Morning Crafts group.

Phyllis was a wonderful person. I remember when my family and I moved next door the her and Jim in 1991. All of my children loved her so much. My two youngest children were always trying to get them to come over for dinner. Phyllis and James always treated my children like their own. Phyllis was one blessed individual. When Timothy and Heather graduated from high school, they gave them their graduation pictures. They were always keeping up with the boys and Heather in their sports and accomplishments. No one can come close to the loved they showed for others. My daughter also took care of her in the nursing home for some time. We will greatly miss her presence. She and is now in the presence of our Lord and back with James

God Bless your family during this time of sorrow.
