They raised five children. Upon retirement they moved to Greeley. Robert passed in 2011 and in 2014 Phyllis moved to Boise, Idaho.
In her younger life she enjoyed competition roller skating and oil painting. While at Touchmark she revisited her artistic side by coloring quilt squares to be made into blankets for the Linus Project. She colored hundreds of pages in adult color books, framing and displaying some in Touchmark’s Art Show. She loved to read and do word search puzzles.
