Phyllis Jean Peterson
Her Way

Phyllis Jean Peterson was my Mother- in -law and I was her daughter in law, but long ago we both dropped the “in-law” and that suited us both just fine. That was her way.

Everyone here today knew her either as Ma, or Grandma, or Great Grammy or Auntie, Mrs. Peterson, or just plain, Phyllis. But her name for everyone else was “Honey” .She just loved everybody. If you introduced her to your family or friends they were hers too. That was...

What can I say about Aunt Phyllis? Well, first of all, she was my loving aunt, my second mom, my dearest friend, and also, my hero. She was the strongest lady that I’ve ever known. Her love and courage and support has helped me most of my entire life. Whenever I would have any problem about anything, I could talk to her and she would always take time to talk to me and try somehow to make me feel so much better.

We almost lost her several times due to all of her illnesses, but...

I will miss my Aunt Phyllis.
I will really miss her singing Happy Birthday to me every year.
Nobody could hit the note and mean it, like she could.
I will foever treasure the girls weekend away in Wis. and the champion toast we shared together.
We all will miss the Love she had for everybody.
I Love you and may God bless you.
Now may she rest in peace with the Lord, her husband,her daughter,and her sisters.
Love Debbie

Phyllis jean was my Grandmother,Mother and most of all my BEST friend. She taught me so many things from how not to be affraid of the dark to how to have "thick skin" when other children were not so nice to me. She raised me as well as she raised her own children and because of her love & work this world is a better place. Now we will carry on her love and memory thru our children and teach them as she taught us but I don't think I will be able to do half the job she has done. Well I can only...

Grandma Phyllis was an amazing woman and I am sad that I didn't have the oppurtunity to know her for longer.She had a remarkable way of making everyone she came in contact with feel important.I will miss her very much but I am comforted at least in knowing that she is not suffering anymore. WE LOVE YOU!
