Phyllis will always be remembered for her ever present beautiful smile, extraordinary gift of hospitality, ability to encourage and bring joy to those around her and her faith in Christ that was unwavering until her last breath.

They were very involved in the Flying Farmers Association and were founding members of the Alliance Church in Strathmore. As integral members in their community, they impacted many people and were a blessing to all those who had the privilege of entering their sphere of influence.
