She is preceded in death by her husband, Unk; and son, David.

The family would like to thank the kind and helpful staff at Gundersen Health System, the support of friends and family, and especially the caring staff who took such good care of Philly during the last few years.

A celebration of life service will be held on Monday, July 17th at 4:30 pm at the Coulee Region Cremation Group, 133 Mason St., Onalaska.  Rev Don Aspseter will officiate with visitation beginning at 3:00 pm.  A gathering of family and friends will continue after the service at Philly’s home in Onalaska.

    My heart goes out to Danny and Laurie at this difficult time. I was lucky enough to spend time with Phyllis and family before she passed. Phyllis was a beautiful, kind hearted soul, who loved everyone she met. She always had a kind word for you, and would make people feel at ease. I will miss her beautiful soul. She treated me like a daughter, and for that I will always be greatfull. God sent another Angel home ??. See you again someday Phyllis. Forever Love, Wanda Thorson & Family
