Phyllis was a passionate flower gardener and a talented seamstress, taking great joy in sewing and quilting. She was a cherished member of her local sewing guild where she shared her love for crafts with fellow enthusiasts. She loved good food and entertaining family and friends, often wishing for their visits to linger just a bit longer. The best visitor she ever had was Jesus, whom you could hear her praying to frequently, even though her latter years' disabilities prevented her from attending church. Things with Phyllis were settled in His kingdom, where she now rests.
