Phyllis taught school until she was married and then at the request of her husband she quit teaching to help him on the family farm where they lived until 2005 when they moved to Gurley. You could always find her helping with the farm animals, tending to her garden and helping in the harvest field as well as always having the meals prepared and something good to snack on.

She was a very active member of Grace Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday School, was Youth Group Leader and held numerous positions in the Lutheran Church Women’s group until they closed the doors.
