Not sure what to say?

Thank you Phyllis for giving me the career I didn't even know I wanted until I attended your child development class. You were one of my biggest supporters. Your teaching style was an inspiration. After your retirement I always enjoyed catching up with you at Saskatoon golf course, when I was working there over the summers. You are missed but forever remembered.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I was in Mrs Fratzke's Home Ec classes at grcc back in the day. She was a great teacher who loved what she did. I had her for interior design and textiles. I know she had a passion for child development, but she was great in everything she taught. I went on to teach Home Ec at Rogers High School!! She was a great mentor! May the Lord hold you close at this time

I´am so sorry to hear the passing of your mom. I can still think of her in jr high in Home Ec. Class.Pam and Karen for you and family RIP

I so loved Phyllis. My fondest memories of her is chasing her beloved Molly in the neighborhood when Molly had a mind of her own and me trying to capture her. Phyllis will be missed she was a wonderful person !

I was in Mrs. Fratzke's Home Ec. class and have great memories. She was a kind and amazing lady. Great sense of humor. God Bless and Godspeed. Beri Bouwman Bek
