Phyllis received her education at the Perryville High School. She was a dedicated wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. Phyllis took pride in nurturing her family.

At a young age she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and was baptized by Rev. Edward Davis at the First Baptist Church of Port Deposit, MD.
