FEBRUARY 2015 RESIDENT OF THE MONTH Phyllis was born in Jackson, she lived in Stockbridge until the age of four, when her family moved to Flint for her father’s job. After the depression, the family moved to Parma, where her father owned a grocery store. Phyllis graduated from Parma High School and met her husband, Sam. They were married soon after her graduation. Phyllis has five children, four sons and one daughter. While living in their second house, the kids raised animals during the summer, including cows, goats and ponies. Sam was in the construction business and built both of the homes Phyllis and her family lived in throughout the years. Phyllis just recently sold the second house that they built while living here at Spring Arbor Assisted Living. Phyllis is an accomplished painter, she has given lessons to others and much of her own artwork is displayed in her apartment. Phyllis also enjoys collecting things. She has several collections some of which consist of angels, thimbles, tea pots, birds and beanie babies. Phyllis also enjoys gardening, growing house plants, knitting and crocheting and sewing. Phyllis and her family enjoyed a few trips to Florida until it got to be too much work to take a family of seven on vacation. Phyllis enjoys trivia, word games, visiting with new friends and trying new things. We are glad to have Phyllis here at S.A.A.L.
