She was an avid ISU men’s basketball and football fan. In 2011 Phyllis traveled with her family on their annual Canada fishing trip and looked forward to it every year. She always caught the biggest fish of the week. Phyllis was a loving mother to her two sons, who survive her, Craig Ites of Edina, MN and Steven (Sandi) Ites of Iowa Falls, Iowa; her granddaughters whom she “loved a bushel and a peck”, Erin (Cortney) Howard of Ames, Iowa and Stacie (Carlos) Tovar of Houston, TX, one great-grandson, Carson Howard, whom she adored; sisters in-law, Betty Larson of Alden, Iowa and Pat Barhite of Iowa Falls, Iowa; brother in-law, Edward (Lois) Ites of Iowa Falls, Iowa and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; and a brother, Don Barhite. We thank and praise God for all the years we were blessed to have Phyllis in our lives.
