She enjoyed selling Avon, working in the Tupperware office, and was the secretary for the Association of Churches in Anderson for many years. Phyllis treasured her friends at the AARP and Rangeline Community Center, and especially enjoyed getting together with her AHS classmates.

Phyllis is survived by daughter, Cherie (Harvey) Fishel, daughter, Peggy (Larry) Costa, daughter, Stephanie (Royce) Miller, son, John (Patty) Swallow, son, Jim (Denise) Swallow, step-son, Jay (Petra) Van Duyn, and many beloved grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John G. Van Duyn, father, Albert E. Pike, mother, C. Jane Pike, and four dearly loved siblings, Joe Pike, Doris Pike, Ralph Pike, and Rachael (Ron) Ginder.
