Aunt Phyllis, so many childhood memories come from spending time with you. From being at your farm all the way to camping and sleeping outside when you took us to the old home place . You told me that I looked like you when you were my age. You came to the hospital when my babies were born. You worked so hard and always shared your garden & baked goods. You stayed with us through out my dads death and funeral. You held me when I cried and combed my hair & held my hand. For all those things I’m so thankful. Families don’t always agree but love is always there.
Thank you for everything that you did. I’ll always love you.
From the time I was 12 I would fly back from California to my aunt and uncle’s farm in Huntington and always see “Wheels.” .
That was the nickname my uncle gave Phyliss, a long story condensed, for her learning how to drive at 45 with the death of her husband.
And in celebration getting a new red pick up truck.
I’d never known Phyliss to be cross. Always cheerful and welcoming.
The world’s a poorer place with her departure
God rest that precious lady. All her loved ones who remain, especially Tom and Boyd will be in my prayers in the days ahead.
