Phyllis was a quiet and humble woman. She loved to spend time quietly crocheting and reading. She took great joy in her grandchildren and loved them with all her heart. Phyllis was always conscious of those around her, taking in all that was happening, and willing to give a helping hand to anyone in need.

She was preceded in death by her brothers: Bruce Emelander, Richard Emelander, and Scott Emelander.
