Phyllis and John Dickey were united in marriage on November 29, 1945 at Sibley, Iowa. John and Phyllis made their home on the Dickey home farm in Ashton, Iowa. In 1949 they moved to Norcross, Minnesota.

John, Phyllis and their family were members of Our Lady of Seven Dolors Catholic Church. She was active in the MCCL and had a keen interest in politics.
