She had a stepdaughter that she loved as her own, Lisa Dale and her companion Shawn Dvorak of Arkansas. She also had a beloved cat, Billy Bob. She had seven grandchildren that brought much joy to her life. She loved when they would sit in her chair to read, color with her, or just get some grandma love.

They include Tiffany Witek, Kayla and Ryan Mitchell, Susanne Donegia, Rachel Watson, Philip and Jonah Wilfong, Amanda Newlon, Jennifer Rockwell, Melissa McCauley and several nieces and nephews in Arkansas on her husband's side of the family.

Her sisters include Teresa and husband Keith Harris of Weaver and Melissa and husband Terry Wilfong of Red House. Phyllis was a homemaker. She enjoyed going to yard sales, thrift store shopping, reading, working crossword puzzles, eating anything chocolate, drinking coffee day and night, the color purple and giving her husband a hard time (this part came from him).
