Phyllis was a hard working lady all of her life and took great pride in everything she did. Phyllis loved her four daughters, her seven grandchildren, and her 10 great–grandchildren immensely. She was an excellent caregiver to her friends and family. Phyllis was an amazing cook, seamstress, and a master hand quilter. She loved to shop for clothes, yard sales, and appreciated anything handmade. She loved gardening and canning, and listening to the gospel and country music of Elvis Presley. Phyllis enjoyed getting her hair fixed every Thursday at Barb’s Beauty Haven and the many friendships she made along the way. She loved pictures and above all she dearly loved the people in them. She was the matriarch of the family and will be truly missed by her family and friends.

She was a retired custodian at People’s Security Bank.
