Phyllis had worked at RCA of Indianapolis and Litton Industries-Triad Utrad, before becoming a lab analyst for Magnetek of Huntington and retiring in 1985 after 20 plus years of loyal service. Phyllis was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a faithful servant of the Lord and a true blessing to those who met her. Phyllis always had a smile on her face and a hug ready to give. Her deep compassion and love for children led her to volunteer at the College Park Church Preschool for over 10 years.
