She was volunteered yearly to be homeroom mother at Parkway Elementary for the 18 years her girls attended. Phyllis worked as a poling clerk in the City, State and National Elections until she was 91 years young. She was a wonderful grandma babysitter and school activity driver for her grandchildren. She was a wonderful mother who raised her children in a Christian home and along with her husband, lived their faith. She was an active member of Highlawn Baptist Church in Saint Albans since 1951. She enjoyed working in the nursery and as part of the Kitchen Crew. Her "powdered sugar pound cake" and "chocolate/peanut butter fudge" was always requested and enjoyed by all. Phyllis always had a smile and a hug for everyone. She loved to quilt, make Christmas ornaments and decorate her home for every season. She loved sunbathing in the hot summer months and their family beach trips to Lakewood Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Phyllis will be missed by all and we look forward to the day we are reunited with her in Heaven.
