Phyllis has 4 stepdaughters: Jill Machovec, Jane Newmann, Judy Newmann, and Jara Schyvinck. They were very special people in her life. We are thankful to them for their love and support.

Phyllis lived in the New Lisbon and Mauston area most of her life. Her working career started out in Chicago. She co-owned Perfect Dry Cleaners in New Lisbon and was later employed by Triple P in Necedah, American Title in Mauston, and Lands’ End in Reedsburg. She was a member of the Bethany Lutheran Church. Phyllis enjoyed the seasons in Wisconsin, spending time on the golf course, being at Castle Rock Lake, playing cards, and cheering on the Wisconsin sports teams. Phyllis had the blessing of sharing her birth date with her son Rich and great-granddaughter Blake.

Our thanks, as a family, go out to the wonderful staff that attended her needs at Mile Bluff Medical Center and to all her friends that have been there for her throughout her life. The immediate family will have a graveside service in the spring. Any donations can be made to the Bethany Lutheran Church in Mauston.
