We will be unable to be at the services as our grandaughter is graduating from college in Portland on Saturday. We will be there in spirit. We will miss our wonderful friend; she was a very special lady.

Phyllis was my friend, my neighbor, and my confidante. She was always willing to share anything she had, food, books, coupons, advice, and her loyal friendship! Although too short a time on earth, Phyllis’s will be remembered for all of her good deeds for decades! Her memory will live on through the people she has touched, and loved unequivocally. I can’t thank her enough for being my friend and sharing her daughters with me, Lynda and Brenda. And I thank her for being there for my son, Michael. Phyllis will be missed. The spider will be on our Xmas tree symbolizing Phyllis’s love and life from here forward. Our deepest sympathy to everyone in Phyllis’s family. Love, Candy Goodwin and Dick Rench

Aunty Phyllis was a beautiful person. She was giving, thoughtful; she and Ernie were always willing to open their home to a friend or relative travelling through town. We cherish the time we were graced to share with her.
Love,
Susan & Bruce
Ernie,

I became a customer, then friend of Phyllis and Ernie about six years ago. Phyllis was/is one of the most wonderful people one could hope to find.
I always enjoyed Phyllis’ company when I worked at the shop. She was a fun person to know. By thoughts and prayers are with you all.
