Phylis believed in living a clean and healthy life. She was a woman of great faith and an inspiration to all that knew her.. She was honest, modest, humble and kind. She was a respectful daughter, loyal wife, loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend. She was a good listener and was compassionate to those that needed advice. She sent cards to everyone and put so much thought and love into them. Phylis learned wood refinishing from her father and restored all of the oak floors and woodwork in her family home.
