She lived her life with a servant’s heart and had a strong faith and love for God. She was kind, loving, generous, self-sacrificing and had a positive outlook on life.

In addition to her husband Ralph, Phyllis is survived by 4 children; Dale Miller (Marie), Linda Hunt (John), Scott Miller (Karen), and Karen Kurtz (Rob); 8 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

Phyllis, the oldest child in her family, was quiet and accomplished. I was pleased to have her as my maid of honor in 1953. Twenty five years later it was fun to travel to Hawley and share rememberances of that day.
I’ll miss her sweet smile.    Isabelle, her cousin.
