Phyllis was born June 13, 1939, in Swords Creek, Va. Shortly after, the family moved to West Virginia, where she attended elementary through high school.
While working in Washington, D.C., Phyllis met and fell in love with her husband of over 47 years, and they began their beautiful journey through life together.

She retired after 20 years of service and continued to work in an administrative capacity at Alaska Regional Hospital for Dr. Rei and Dr. Muffoletto from 1998-2008.
Her family wrote, "Phyllis's greatest passion was her family, friends, being very involved with the Catholic Church, including as a Eucharistic minister with St. Anthony's and living life to the fullest. She could make your heart smile with her beautiful blue eyes and infectious hugs. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all who came to know her."
