Her father passed away in 1931 when she was only 7 years old. It was the depression, but Phyllis did not realize that they were poor because everyone was in the same situation.

In 1943 her mother married Ira Urban Staley and she gained 3 step siblings. She adored the 2 little girls, Melvina and Janice.
Phyllis met Elwood Leatham and they married August 26, 1943; 6 children were born to them. They lived in Rexburg until his death in an automobile accident on November 22, 1967.
In May of 1969, she married George Hall and became stepmother to 4 grown children. She and George became involved in raising and racing Quarter Horses. George passed away in September, 2000. Phyllis remained in her home in Archer, Idaho in fairly good health until her 96th birthday when her health rapidly declined and she passed away peacefully at Temple View Transitional Care Center in the early hours of August 28, 2020.
