Together they lived in several states and Europe before retiring to their hometown of Enid after Jim’s 32 year military career. They remained married for 67 years until Phyllis’ death.
Phyllis was a devoted wife and loving mother of three children, five grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. Her first love was her family and she was an active leader in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and served as a Sunday school teacher. She was active in Officer’s Wives Clubs, local churches throughout her many moves and was a hospital volunteer. She was an accomplished ceramicist and also enjoyed traveling and teaching her children to appreciate different places, cultures and people. She cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren before her health declined. Her family will remember her most as the consummate military wife and mother whose strength and resolve rose to every challenge.
