end, Anne Rentz. Being an excellent cook, Phyllis didn't often have the option of going out for dinner because her husband would say, "I like Phyllis's kitchen!" That didn't bother her because she was a happy cook! Family and friends enjoyed numerous fish fries, thanks to Jim's love of fishing and her expertise in the kitchen. Phyllis was self-taught and always willing to learn new things (except the computer!). Being a fun-loving, extroverted person, she left a lasting impression on most anyone she met. Phyllis is survived by her daughter, Tamara (Jim) Nothwehr, PA; son, Michael (Judy) Pfeffer, Rochester; grandchildren, Andrea (Tim) Skoraszewski, PA; Scott (Chummy) Nothwehr, PA; Gregory (Ashley) Pfeffer, St. Paul; and Bradley Pfeffer, Rochester; sister, Lois (Denny) Midtvedt, WI; sister-in-law, Priscilla Bloomer, MN; and several nieces and nephews. Phyllis was preceded in death by her husband, Jim in 2018; brother, Maynard; sister, Gloria; and her parents. Special thanks to Jon Vik and his son Ethan whose neighborly help allowed Phyllis to remain in her home for an extended period of time; thanks also to Michelle Hines and Sharon Zitzmann for their loving support and friendship. The family also wishes to thank the wonderful staff at River Bend and Seasons Hospice for their compassion, kindness and the care they provided Phyllis during her final days.
