Sorry to the Ogburn and extended family for your loss.
We will miss Phyllis at Pioneer Ridge Independent Living. I met her the day she moved in; we have the same first and middle names so I felt an immediate bond with her. I enjoyed knowing Phyllis very much.
She was a special sweet lady and a bluebird fan. It was a joy to have her in our Kaw Valley Bluebird Association for many years.
I remember Phyllis so well from our days of working together at LMH. She was an excellent nurse and a wonderful person and a credit to her profession as a care giver. My condolences to her family for this great loss.

I considered Phyllis one of my new-found “friends” at Pioneer Independent Living and admired how gracefully she managed her
relationship with other residents while coping with her illness. Phyllis added joy to my life. My sincere condolences to the family.
