Shortly after her mother's passing, Phyllis moved to Jal, New Mexico where she attended the Church of God. Phyllis briefly worked at the Jal Elementary as a custodian/kitchen helper.

Phyllis loved working for this company and enjoyed her customers. They always put a smile on her face.

After her retirement, Phyllis continued to work on her crafts that she did in her spare time. Her favorite thing to do was plastic canvas. She made things for every holiday, but her all-time favorite was making football clocks. She could make any team and loved showing everyone. She was very proud of the things she made. As the years passed, Phyllis had to give up on her craft making. Phyllis lived with her daughter Tammy and helped her foster many animals. She had a love for each and every one of the fosters.
