Whether it be shopping, taking tours with her sisters and best friend, sister-in-law, Lola Kessler, to cooking, cleaning, mowing the lawn. Phyllis was a great cook. Some of her best dishes were Macaroni n Cheese and her famous Banana Pudding she use to make all the time. Phyllis was an honest person, and would do anything for anyone, all you had to do was ask.
