She loved up north summer vacations, bowling, gardening, canning, making grape jelly and freezer strawberry/rhubarb jam; as well as playing Dirty board, greedy and many card games. She also enjoyed going to the casino and car shows. Phyllis worked at Dandelion Child Care and retired from Burton City Hall.
