Phyllis was an active member of the Country Methodist church since 1956, she enjoyed being a lay member for their annual conferences.

For 23 years she assisted DrDean Dyer in his Orthodontic practice in prairie Village, often tightening the braces of her own children.

Upon retirement she joined the St Lukes Hospital Auxiliary. She was called to the heart Institute waiting room, comforting families in regards to their loved ones preparing for major surgeries.

Phyllis was a member of EG chapter of P.E.O. A very active member never revealing to her family what the purpose of the organization was.

Phyllis and Buckey also supported the cursillo community in Kansas City spending many hours writing notes and encouraging others to become good Christians.

Phyllis was forever grateful for the Love and devotion that her son Brooks, gave to her and her dearly loved husband Buckey, as Brooks was the one to care for them during their final years on earth.
