Phyllis (Dyck) Nickel passed away Friday, September 26, 2025. She was born August 6, 1932 to Ervin and Agnes Dyck. Phyllis attended Sand Creek Grade School and Goessel High School graduating in 1950. She was a lifelong, faithful member of the Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church.
In 1951 she married Alfred and moved to a farm north of town. To this union four children were born – Bradley, Jonene, Ronald and Lori. Her family was a very important part of her life as a wife, mother, homemaker, and especially caretaker. They all enjoyed life on the farm. Later on in life Phyllis was involved in volunteer service including helping with the local blood drives, working at the Et. Cetera shop and finally as a "pink lady" at Newton Medical Center.
Survivors include daughter, Lori (Randy) Dellett of El Dorado; grandson, Brian (Jessica) Maddox of Indianapolis; brother, Galen (Paula) Dyck; sister, Kristi (Jim) Fetty and numerous other relatives.
There will be a family graveside service at the Alexanderwohl Cemetery at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Family will meet friends following the service afterwards at the Goessel City Building until 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bethesda Home or Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, PO Box 96, Goessel, KS 67053.
