Phyllis was a life-long member of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Parish, St. Patrick's Catholic Church.She enjoyed playing BINGO and spending time with her grandchildren.

Phyllis, or "Aunt Jane" as the neighborhood children called her, was a mother to all. Her children's childhood friends still remember her fondly as a loving mother figure in the community. Spending time with her sister on bus trips was another highly anticipated activity as well as bowling with her group of friends at the Bowler.Phyllis is survived by her sons, Charles R.
