She married the love of her life Elwood Anderson in 1950 and the couple enjoyed 71 years of marriage before his passing in 2021. Phyllis had a love for music and dancing. She studied piano and voice in high school. Mid-life, Phyllis decided to study vocal pedagogy again. She sang in several recitals and enjoyed singing with the UW-Madison Choral Union and various church choirs. Phyllis taught ballroom dance and loved dancing with the love of her life Woody. Needlework was always a joyful pursuit for Phyllis. Family and friends were happy recipients of the results of her needlework. It may have been a knitted or crochet sweater, cap or scarf or a quilt. With an artful eye and a gift for matching colors the results were stunning.
