Phyllis was a homemaker who treasured her family. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life. Their visits to Grandma and Grandpa Chuck's home were always filled with food, fun and lots of laughs. Cooking was her love language and she enjoyed making everyone's favorite dishes. She never met a stranger and had the gift of hospitality. She and Chuck enjoyed vacationing in Branson and Florida for many years. She was a member of Grace Fellowship Church in El Paso.
