Phyllis Majcen, loving wife and mother was born in Westmont, Illinois on Jan 20, 1931. She was the daughter of Charles and Angelina Kouri. Phyllis graduated high school and married Joseph “Joe” Majcen, her husband of fifty-six years on June 17, 1950. Phyllis worked as a typist for Standard Oil until 1955, when she gave birth to the first of three children. She gave up the corporate world to spend the majority of her life as a mother and housewife. She was fiercely loyal to her family, often volunteering to help in various functions at her children’s grade school, and driving her kid’s to parties, functions, and sleepovers. She was always there for us, both with her time and fiscal help. Most of her vacations were spent visiting the family members she left behind in the Midwest when she and Joe moved to California in 1955. After Joe passed in 2006, she spent much of the next decade traveling the world and the U.S. Unfortunately her last six years were spent in her home after fracturing her pelvis, when she also began a four-year struggle with myoplastic dysplasia. She passed peacefully in her sleep on July 25th of 2020.
She leaves behind her three children: Jeffrey Majcen, Jolene (Bill) Morrison and Jim (Jeanelle) Majcen along with her four grandchildren: James Morrison, Chrystal (Ben) Bridges, Victoria (Joshua) Froat and Rebecca (Martin) Burch along with eight great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
We will miss you mom.
