Phyllis Rose Schwab

Phyllis grew up in Chicago and graduated from Fenger High School. She was an outgoing and energetic wife and mother of three children. Phyllis was both creative and loved to have fun. Always a lover of physical activity, she became passionate about golf. She was also an excellent bridge and Mahjong player. In her earlier years, Phyllis became an accomplished seamstress and part-time legal secretary. She loved fashion and was always designing her own clothing, including men's 3-piece suits. Although she was not college educated, she used her determination and self-discipline to learn the skills necessary to become a legal secretary which included teaching herself typing and shorthand.

Phyllis is survived by her daughters, Jill Chomer, Joy (Jim) Bowles, and son, Brett (Belinda) Chomer; her grandchildren: Lauren (Brian) Manfred, Hunter (Victoria) Chomer, Clint and Spencer Bowles; and great grandchildren: Reid and Hayes Manfred, and Olivia and Shayne Chomer.
