In 2009 the family took her back to the prestigious Hambletonian, A reporter for the U.S. Her lifelong dream was to see the trotting horses and pacers. One of her favorite memories was leading the rodeo parade on Flossy. Phyllis loved horses from the time she was born. Her work ethic and moral standards were second to none, and her big, kind heart toward others will live on. Her garden was an incredible sight to behold-she called it “her church” because that is where she felt at peace and closest to God.
She was an amazing cook and was famous for her potato salad, sweet tea, wonderberry pie, sour cream raisin pie, sauerkraut, cheese dumplings, knoefla, cinnamon rolls, homemade bread, and milkshakes. She milked cows and sold cream, and raised chickens and sold eggs. Phyllis was known for so many things and wore many hats: farmer’s wife, mother, grandmother, rock picker, truck driver, gardener, just to name a few. Phyllis was able to stay on the farm until the very end. Together they had five children: twins Tara and Tanya, Kim, Penny, and Travis. They built a home on the Kent Caraway homestead, putting blood, sweat, and tears into growing their farming and ranching dreams in Larslan, Montana.

Phyllis went through eighth grade at Wheatland Country School one mile from the farm and attended high school in Opheim, Montana, where she graduated co-valedictorian of her class in 1947 at the age of 16, along with her brother Bub. She grew up on the Edwards home place four miles south of Opheim and was the fifth of eight children. Phyllis was born to Graydon McKinley Edwards and Emma (Bergtoll) Edwards on October 4, 1930, in Glasgow, Montana.
