Phyllis was born on January 18, 1923 to Henry and Camilla Sierk in rural Scott County, Iowa on the family farm. She was united in marriage to Calvin “Cal” Hamann on January 21, 1948.

Phyllis was always there for whomever needed a hand. She was a charter member of Faith Lutheran Church in Eldridge, Iowa, the Pythian Sisters, the Golden Anniversary Club, and several card clubs.

She was preceded in death by her husband Cal, her parents, sister Elaine Fick, and son in law Rick Darnall.
