She played basketball and the saxophone at Crescent schools and has always loved sports and music! As most of you know, she was an avid OSU sports fan, especially football and women's basketball. "OSU orange" was a dominant color in both her wardrobe and decor.

She was always up for an adventure, loved playing cards, sewing, line- dancing classes, traveling to NYC, California, eating fish tacos, shopping...she was a "master" bargain hunter and garage saler. She could squeeze every drop out of a dollar while shopping for gifts for everyone on the planet! Her generosity knew no bounds!

She's been known as the "Breadlady" for over 35 years with a unique gift for feeding your soul while feeding your tummy with her amazing homemade bread and many other culinary delights.

Phyllis was a boldly devoted, wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, daughter, sister, friend and loyal supporter of any event that involved her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and many other people's kids.
