Phyllis was born on June 10, 1943, to the late John Jenkins and the late Viginia Jenkins.
In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her former husband, Larry DeArmond and her grandson, Klayton Henson.
Phyllis loved spending time with her family, and especially loved the time spent with her four great-grandchildren. She enjoyed eating ice cream and special treats with them by her side. She also had a passion for her job as a caregiver to the elderly, which was a gift that came naturally to her. Phyllis was a firm believer and follower of God and is now home with Him.
Left to cherish her memories are her children, Leslie DeArmond (Bryan Zachary) and Rodney DeArmond; great-grandchildren, Zeplin, Raylan, Blaise and Weston; brothers, Walter Jenkins (Brenda) and Roger Jenkins (Barbara); and sister, Judy Kelly (Don).
