Phyllis was born on Aug. 4, 1940, in Comfrey to Michael and Mathilda (Sellner) Windschitl. She attended the Church of Japanese Martyrs School in Leavenworth and graduated from Comfrey High School in 1958. She married George Wersal, Jr. of Springfield on Sept. 23, 1958. After raising four children, Phyllis worked as manager of the Springfield Handi-Mart and most recently at Miesen’s Color Center. She enjoyed playing cards and games, bowled for many years, was a master Sudoku player, loved all things math, tended to her flowers and garden, and spent time decorating her home, especially for Christmas. Most important to her was hosting Holidays with family, where she would plan and prepare an abundance of home cooked meals.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Joan (Tom) Wenisch of Hutchinson, Linda (Mike) Butts of Rogers, Dan (Bonnie) Wersal of Willmar, Jane (Victor) Avila of Thornton, CO; 15 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; siblings, Marvin (Esther) Windschitl of Comfrey, Walter (Margaret) Windschitl of Sleepy Eye, and Gladys (Jerry) Homan of Hutchinson. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband George; grandson Patrick Wenisch; sister Doris Windschitl; niece Marie Windschitl; a brother in infancy; and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
