Phyllis attended several Battle Creek Public Schools graduating from Lakeview High School in 1946. She worked at Kellogg's for 39 years before retiring. She was a proud member of the Kellogg 25 year club.

Phyllis loved flowers and gardening. She enjoyed crocheting and quilt making many afghans, and quilts as she traveled. These became treasured family gifts. Phyllis and Jack enjoyed traveling all across the U.S. and Canada, and they developed a love for antiques together. They refinished many furniture pieces and restored them back to the original condition. They started a business named The Old Store which was located at 132 Division Street in Battle Creek and did many antique shows in Michigan. After retiring, they moved to Marble Falls, Texas where they resided for 17 years. They continued doing antique shows across the south and west before moving back to Battle Creek in 2013 to be closer to their children. Phyllis has been living at the Reflections Memory Care in Battle Creek since 2013 where she was lovingly cared for by their exceptional staff. Cremation has taken place and a private family burial will take place at a later date.
