After they retired they moved to Pleasant View, Colorado where they built a beautiful farm for all to enjoy. After many great years in Colorado they decided to move to Kingman, Arizona to be closer to their children and grandchildren in California and to be closer to their family in Kingman. In Kingman, Phyllis enjoyed entertaining family and friends with beautiful dinners for all to enjoy. When her family came to visit she enjoyed baking and cooking with her grandkids. Phyllis always took pride in her home and she decorated for every holiday, as entertaining was her passion. Everything always looked and tasted perfect, down to the last detail. Phyllis’s love for her family was her top priority. She always made sure everyone had what they needed and then some. She never complained about anything and always went through life with a smile on her face. Phyllis had a deep abiding faith in God and was always active in church school growing up and loved volunteering in the church nursery as an adult. Phyllis is preceded in death by her mother and father, Hallie and Robert Lambert and brother William J Lambert and her husband of 48 year, Leonard Kendall Wyatt. Phyllis is survived by her son Jeff and his wife Deborah, son Michael, daughter Stephanie and her husband Ted, her sisters; Rae Lambert, Peggy Lambert and her brother Bob Lambert. Phyllis had eight beautiful grandchildren; Jenna, Tyler, Emily, Sarah, Delani, Grace, Brooklynn and Cassidy. As well as many nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. Phyllis was the best example of a wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend that anyone could ever ask for. All who knew her where truly blessed. We, Phyllis’s family, wish to extend our sincerest thank you to our mother’s friends Joanne, Rhonda, Marcia and Karen. Your love and care for our mother in her time of need was a beautiful expression of friendship.
