Phyllis retired from Hi-Stat after working for over 20 years. Though she could be very blunt at times, she was always a character with a big personality.

Phyllis loved McDonalds coffee and animals, especially her beloved Pomeranian, Shade, who passed away in October at 18 years old. She always loved a man in uniform, especially with a mustache. Phyllis was a member of the VFW Post 3494 and the Moose Lodge of Mansfield.
