While together, until Gale’s passing in 1991, Gale and Phyllis raised their three children in Mondamin, established the Remington Boat Launch, supported local community events, and danced as often as they could. Phyllis substitute taught in the West Harrison School District while raising the children and then went on to work for the State of Iowa as a social service worker. In 1996, on Phyllis’ birthday, she reconnected with a former sweetheart, Walter Verne Graham. During their time together, they enjoyed traveling the world, cheering on their favorite sports teams, hosting dance lessons in their basement, and spending time with family and friends.
