Her school touched and enriched the lives of thousands. Children's House is still thriving today, more than 45 years later. Phyllis was predeceased by her two sisters, Patricia Ozmun and Pamela Willis, as well as her husband, John. She is survived by her sons John, James and Joseph (Karen), and grandson, Eli (Joseph). Per Phyllis' request, no public services will be hosted. A family service will be scheduled at a later date. Given her dual loves of early childhood education and Dubois, those wishing to honor Phyllis' memory can make a donation to the American Montessori Society or the Dubois Museum.
