Phyllis was born to Charles and Matilda Daniel. She graduated from Beaver Dam High School with the Class of 1951. Before marriage, Phyllis was employed at Monarch Range for four years. On May 7, 1955, she was united in marriage to Harvey Steinbach at St. Peter's Catholic Church (now St. Katharine Drexel) in Beaver Dam. They were married for 69 years. Once her children were in school, Phyllis worked at JK Fabrics until it closed in 1988. She then worked for Nancy's Notions until retirement.
