She enjoyed cooking for family and friends making wonderful meals, including home baked pie for dessert. Phyllis was an excellent seamstress and everyone in the family has a homemade quilt and hand crocheted afghan from Grandma O.

She had the greenest thumb ever! Phyllis raised an enormous amount of houseplants and enjoyed canning produce from her huge vegetable garden.
