She spent her childhood and was raised on the other Becker/Sattler property all the Speck family refer to as the farm. Going to school at the old district #41 school house about a half mile from their home with some of her silbings. In her youth she would help her Becker grandparents in her mothers' old home that stood by the the old 70 acres her father Benjamin later farmed. Attending Plattsmouth High School and graduated in 1940. She & her younger sisters sometimes stayed with uncle Henry Horn & his family in Plattsmouth as they became young adults. She got into Capitol Beauty School in Omaha earning her license and later worked at early hair salons in Plattsmouth also with her sister. After her marriage when living in south Omaha, she worked at the beauty salon leased by Brandeis and had a huge following of her own customers there. In later years she retired from the business to be at home with her husband & family. She married Charles Joseph Kostka at the First Presbyterian Church on January 10, 1948. They continued living in Plattsmouth, Nebraska for a short time. To this union they had three daughters JoDel, Jane, and Janelle. Charles was employed by the railroad and they moved into So. Omaha next door to his full blooded Czech parents. Phyllis being a good cook learned some of the fine Bohemian meals and baking from his family. Some of her other hobbies and joys were dancing & listening to the Czech music, decorating the family home, zig-saw puzzles, reading, cards and a long list of other favorites. She kept a wonderful home there for many years while their children grew up. They often returned home to the Speck farm to join in holiday and weekend gatherings of the family. In later years they moved to Chris lake community by the Platte river below Bellevue and spent many years with family and friends visiting them at their home.
