I am so blessed to have known Phyllis as a Mother-in-Law and as a friend. She gifted our family with her strength, humor and countless treasured stories about everyday life. We will miss your laughter,stories and love!
Phyllis (Dolly) was a dear friend of mine for over 75 years, starting with our Confirmation, High School Graduations, our weddings and children. I lived in Illinois or Michigan for the last 60 of those years and only saw Dolly about once a year. We telephoned a few times a year and just continued our friendship as if there was never a gap in visits. She took the time to arrange lunches or dinners with our old friends when I was in town and we had a good laugh about something. I will miss those telephone conversations.
We both managed to outlive most of our friends from high school, both took up golf and bridge, which we hadn't done earlier, and enjoyed and talked about both, especially bridge. She had difficult years when she lost her husband at a very young age and independently raised three fine boys. During that time she was also the only person responsible for her aging parents and took in her mother for several years after the death of her father.
Hers was a life well-lived and she will be missed by all.
Grandma was, and continues to be, a pillar of steadfast love and profound strength. Her legacy lives through the all individuals with whom she touched. Although her voice was seldom unheard, it was undoubtedly her engaging nature which captured all the minds and hearts in the room. I'm Honored and grateful to call her my Grandmother.

Phyllis always welcomed me like a family member from the first time I met her even though she called me Brandy for the first year or so. She was by far and a way one of the easiest people to talk to that I've ever met. I am honored to be married to one of her amazing grandchildren and blessed to spend time with all of her family. Although my time getting to know Phyllis was brief compared to most I am ever so grateful for the unforgettable memories that I cherish.
Grandma always had so much to say but was above all the best listener I have ever met. She always drew a crowd because she would take the time to listen to what anyone would say then offer usually the best advice one could receive. Countless nights I would call her,even up until her last days, just to talk and laugh with her. I will miss those night time calls with her but have peace in knowing I get to talk to her whenever I want now.
Grandma knew how to connect with people. She had a certain sense of authenticity in everything she said and did which made her presence sought after and magnetic. She showed me how to treat others and her impact will live on in not only my life but my family and friends' as well. I'm proud and thankful to have had her as my grandma.
