Phyllis, a hard worker, retired after many years in Halls of Residence at Indiana University Bloomington. She was a motivated self learner and enjoyed playing the piano and accordion, singing traditional Hymns as well as crocheting, sewing, quilting, and made many beautiful items that will be cherished forever by family. Every Christmas she would make her family favorite peanut butter fudge and often shared the process with her granddaughter who will aim to pass on the tradition. She always looked forward to spending time and playing with her great-grandchildren who kept her young at heart. She loved Jesus and it showed as she was a giver of all things and never expected anything in return. She was a sweet, selfless and caring lady who enjoyed living a simple life and always had something kind to say. She raised her granddaughter as her own and perfected the balance of fulfilling both a Grandma and motherly role. She showed what it meant to be a Christ like follower and taught how to love, be thankful, do the right thing in life’s journey and give our worries to Him.
