Later, they moved to Glenwood, Minnesota where Phyllis assisted Darrel in his insurance business for four years. In 1950, the couple made their home in Morris, Minnesota. Phyllis worked at University of Minnesota Morris and retired in 1982. In 2011, Phyllis moved to Tucson, AZ to live with her daughter, Dawn.
Phyllis was a member of Federated Church and Ladies Fellowship. She enjoyed golf, gardening, needle work, and playing cards. Phyllis loved playing Bridge and baking during her last two years in Tucson. She was the hand and foot and rummikub champion. Phyllis made new friends in Tucson, but always talked about her friends in Morris and enjoyed the cards she received. Phyllis was a wonderful wife and mother.
