Phyllis graduated from Coal Creek High School in 1966.

She was known for her outgoing personality. She was friendly, chatty and did not know a stranger. Phyllis was a great cook and loved to share food with others. She enjoyed playing cards and going to movies. Phyllis was everyoneā€™s biggest cheerleader. She instilled a confidence in me that I could accomplish anything. This trait is something I have worked to instill in my own children. I am grateful for this gift. Rest easy mom, I promise to learn to make pretty fruit salad, noodles and pies with a top crust.

Cremation was chosen with a celebration of life at a later date. Sanders Shoemaker Funeral Care is entrusted with care. Share memories and condolences online at www.sandersfuneralcare.com
