Phyllis lives in Maywood Waters with her husband Karl. Carl loves his wife’s laugh, as do the other residents of The Waters on Mayowood. A resident, Karen, said SQUARE 11 that “‘[h]er laughter is well known. ‘”Phyllis is also known for having a great attitude in general. As Karen says, “‘[s]he’s just a great person to be with and inspire you for the day. ‘”

It’s thanks to an aunt of Phyllis. Phyllis said that “” if you were with her, you laughed … She was just having fun. “”For his funeral, his aunt had requested that people sing the song “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles”. And that’s where the inspiration comes from.

Phyllis said she never does anything that isn’t fun, “‘My husband does.'” And Carl doesn’t mind.

One of those fun things for her is blowing bubbles, which she’s been doing almost every day since her aunt died nearly 20 years ago. So if you’re driving around, keep your eyes peeled, you might just see Phyllis having the best time of her life. “‘I’m hanging out here and I’m a kid!'” Let’s take a page from Phyllis’s book and find joy in even the smallest things, like blowing bubbles.
