My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the Ulrich family. She was a great person, very friendly and very thoughtful. Always ready to volunteer and help people with their needs. I enjoyed her friendship, and she will be dearly missed.

So sorry to learn of Phyllis' passing. We enjoyed chatting at Saturday evening services.
My sympathies to all the Ulrich family.

It was a very nice service for a wonderful person. I remember my niece as a child and an adult, and she was a very friendly soul with a good outlook on life. Bless all the family in this time of sadness. I always felt the Bryant girls were like sisters because I spent so much time with Bryant family as a child. Her mother was my sister. We wish the Ulrich family and Phyllis's remaining sister's peace and fond memories at this time and in the future. - Uncle Arthur Olson and her cousin Randy Olson, Madison, WI, April 23, 2020
