On June 1, 1968 she married Lawrence Wayne Hanson from Birch Hills, Saskatchewan. They then moved to Thompson, Manitoba. They returned to Saskatchewan and settled in Birch Hills and had 3 wonderful children: Tracie, Clayton, and Jylene.

Wayne and Phyllis parted ways and Phyllis worked at the Jubilee Lodge in Kinistino in 70’s. She then went into Homecare and also was a pre-school teacher. She was involved in Girl Guides & Brownies, and she was very active in the community.

Phyllis and her family moved to Melfort in 1985.  This is when Phyllis started being a foster parent, opening her home to so many. She made a home for them and treated them like her own becoming a mom to so many. The foster children that came into her home still keep in contact with her, and they say they wouldn’t be where they are today if it wasn’t for her love, compassion, and wisdom that she shared. She continued being a foster parent and also became a billet for the Melfort Mustang and Kinistino Junior Tigers.

She was very loving, caring, compassionate, loyal, sincere, supportive, and it was all unconditional. She was a very wise lady who strongly believed do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.
