In July, she was able to go to Disneyworld with her daughter, Sharen Seiter and two of her granddaughters – Jessica and Bari Seiter.

In October, she insisted on attending the wedding of her grandson, Dylan Silverman (to Olivia Dirienz), in Brooklyn, New York.

For years, Phyllis dedicated her life to family and volunteering at Nusach Hari B’nai Zion and for various Jewish organizations in the St. Louis area. She had a long, loving marriage of 67 years to her husband, Sidney Silverman, who passed in 2020.
