She worked for many years at Roderick Furniture Store in Westernport and also volunteered at Moran Manor Nursing Home and Heartland Nursing Home in Keyser, WV. She was also a member of Victory Post 155 American Legion Auxiliary. Phyllis was always ready to help anybody with anything they needed. She will be sadly missed by her family and her many friends.
