She started working at Ames Department store where she helped open the Salisbury office, and then later transferred to Pocomoke City and retired as an office manager. She was an auxiliary member of the American Legion, Post 93. Phyllis’ pastimes were working on crossword puzzles, watching westerns, reading books, writing poetry, and spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One of her greatest treasures was keeping her home decorated for the holidays, her teddy bears, and to have all of her many clocks ticking. Her love of flowers inside and out will continue with her family. So take time to pick a daffodil or pick a lilac bloom and think of her. She is survived by her three children, Billie S. Morris (Gerald) of Salisbury, Daniel N. Sturgis (Cathy) of Deep Creek, VA, Nancy S. Watson (John) of Salisbury; Grandchildren, Gregg (Autumn) Morris, Eric Morris, Leah Morris, Joshua A.
