Phyllis held a Masters degree and worked in the Muskogee County Schools system as a teacher and the Director of Food Services. Phyllis and Larry have two children, Dirk Sams and spouse Susan of Bixby, and Liane Potter of Saint Petersburg, Florida. Phyllis very much enjoyed her four grand-girls and loved them all very much.
