Hi I worked with Phyllis at camel I will never find a sweeter person to be friends with. I even put her sewing machine up for sale when she went to the bathroom one day. I really loved her. Cherish the memories they will help you. God Bless you all.

I worked with Phyllis for 10 years at Parks Dry Cleaners and I loved her very much. She loved to cook and sew and share her many talents with others.
She introduced me to her famous Elderberry jelly along with other tasty treats, she always had a smile and a laugh that thrilled me every time I heard it. Olsen and her family were her heart and the love she had for the beautiful mountains she called home. I feel very blessed to have known her and I look forward to being with her in Heaven some sweet day. I pray for comfort and healing for her family, our loss is truly Heaven's gain.
