My fondest memory is the reunion in 1976. It may have been the first time I met her. They were telling stories (loved the days they would gather and tell stories. Family Treasures.) She talked about hiding out in the pantry and falling asleep. Grandma Suzie couldn't find her, and grandma also could figure out why her brown sugar was disappearing. Seems that she found aunt P asleep while she had been sneaking the hard chunks of brown sugar. I remember thinking, I must've inherited that trait from my father's side of the family! Another memory is my last visit to Washington. I was grateful to have Zale and Morrie take me to visit her. When Zale asked what I wanted to do on my vacation I told her the 1 thing on my list was to visit with Aunt P. Aunt Phyllis was so proud of her little garden and all of the flowers. She told me about the hummingbirds and everything that visited her blooms in the garden. Always happy and always a smile. I will remember her smile and giggles when she would tell Dobson stories and I will miss chatting with her on the phone. Rest in peace Aunt Phyllis.
