Phyllis was a member of the Valley Gospel Singers for many, many years and was very proud of the work they did to raise money for special causes through their singing. She loved God and told almost everyone she met about Him.

Phyllis truly enjoyed and loved her family with every ounce of her being. Her heart was wide open as she never stopped letting us all know how much she loved us.
