Phyllis Waldron has been a life-long friend of mine. During my childhood she served with my mother in the Primary and Relief Society, so when meetings were held for the presidencies of these organizations involving both my mother and Phyllis I was there and remember how kind she always was to me, a toddler, and someone curious about everything in her house. Her house plants intrigued me, and I know she laughed at my wanting to touch them and kindly helped me by reminding me not to touch them.
Throughout my life, she was someone who sincerely showed a special interest in me. She has stayed in contact with me by writing to me every year of my life, as I have with her. I worked for her husband, Earl, on their farm, helped haul hay principally and do other small jobs around their yard when I was a teenager.
She fixed meals for the family of which I was part while working for Earl. Her cooking was excellent, and she used to say she had learned a lot from my mother as to how to prepare different dishes.
Of special interest to me is when she would tell Stephen, my brother, and me how much she enjoyed our serenading our cows when we milked them by hand in those days and she claimed she could hear us both singing. One time, in order to verify she really was truthful for what she said, she mentioned she had especially enjoyed our rendition from the "Student Prince," a popular operetta by Sigmund Romberg in those days. She especially liked Golden Days.
That and her attention to the various things I did in my life, the plays and operettas I was in at school she always attended and made special mention to me as to how much she enjoyed them. She was always there to encourage the kids in our town, always made special remarks about how we were doing to make things better for everyone.
I still find it remarkable that even with so many years different in our ages, Phyllis still found the time and interest to remain in contact. Eleanor and I will miss her Christmas cards.
God bless her wonderful children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. What a legacy they possess because of this remarkable and greatly admired woman.
