Lyllis worked as a secretary and office manager for many years, first with Long-Bell Lumber Company in Cedar Rapids, and later with Type-A-Service, Presto-X-Company, and ABC Pest Control in Des Moines. She was a full-time homemaker and active PTA volunteer, homeroom mother, and Camp Fire leader during her daughter's childhood. Known for her outspoken nature and exuberant laughter, Lyllis made lifelong friends in the places she lived as well as through her many activities and online clubs. She was always alert for new things to do, places to go, and ways to surprise or indulge the people she cared about. Lyllis loved Iowa Hawkeye football; everything Christmas; 40s-era music and movies; baking; attending shows and concerts; collecting Swarovski crystal, Hallmark ornaments, and Steiff bears; traveling; and spending time with her daughter and family. Some of her fondest memories were of family trips to New York, NY, Willamsburg, VA, and the 1986 Rose Bowl game; and a tour to Austria with the Swarovski Crystal Society. Lyllis is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Cathy (Friest) and Robert Rodgers, of Wichita; her granddaughter, Erin Rodgers, of Rochester, NY; her sister-in-law, Nancy (Spracklin) Schaefer (Glen), of West Des Moines; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
