Phyllis worked at The May Co. during the early 1970’s and then for JC Penney’s during the early 1980’s until 2017 when she retired.

Phyllis met David, they fell in love and married on August 18, 1979. To this union two sons were born, Davin and Kadeem. They would later all move to Pittsburgh, PA in 1986.

Phyllis enjoyed sewing and gardening. It didn’t matter whether  it was flowers or vegetables, she loved working in her gardens.

You could find her on some Sunday’s watching the Browns or Steelers and the Cavaliers.
