Phyllis enjoyed a very rich and fulfilled life. She wintered several years in Santa Fe with her son, Kenner, and enriched her life with the new friends and the cultural diversity surrounding Santa Fe. It was during this time that she learned to swim and enjoyed hiking. She looked forward to each day for the good and lessons she might find in it.
