Phyllis was always cordial to me; I was married to Clarence’s cousin. Her energy & determination amazed me; she was caring for her yard @ age 90! My sympathy to Glenn; I was unable to attend the service.. A memorial has been mailed to Christian Heritage.

I was a kindergarten student of hers in 1966 at Maude Rousseau in Lincoln. I fondly remember those days in her classroom with what will become lifelong friends, the long Maude Rousseau hallways and the amazing playground. My condolences to the Knosp family.
