Phyllis was active in her church, St. Francis Episcopal in Great Falls. She was an avid reader, devouring the Washington Post every day as well as periodicals and literature. Phyllis was active in politics as well and kept up with international news and events until her passing.
She is survived by her three children: Peyton Bendix of Barrington, Ill.; Remsen Paul, Jr. of Incline Village, Nev.; and Hilary Haight of Great Falls; and six grandchildren.
The memorial service will be held on Friday, Sept. 27, at 11 a.m. at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Great Falls with a reception immediately following. A future internment is planned at Arlington National Cemetery where Phyllis will be laid to rest with her husband. The family requests that any memorial donations be made to St. Francis Episcopal Church.
