Phyllis was born on December 20, 1921, in Nounan, Idaho to Archie and Ivy Bacon Freeman. She was the eldest of six children. Phyllis attended school in Nounan, where she grew up. She married Lyman Edward Weaver in the Logan LDS Temple on May 10, 1939. Five children were born to this union. Lyman worked for the Union Pacific Railroad which brought about several moves during her married life. Phyllis was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served in various positions. During the time that the family lived in Burley, Phyllis and Lyman were Stake Dance Directors. They participated in a regional dance competition. They both loved this calling and taught many young people to dance. Phyllis also served in the MIA, Visiting Teacher, Primary Teacher and her most recent job was the librarian of the Montpelier 2nd Ward. She truly enjoyed this calling. Phyllis was also a member of the Francis Elizabeth Budges DUP Camp, where she served as captain of that camp from 1997 to 2001. Phyllis worked for several years in the kitchen at the Bear Lake Memorial Hospital. She enjoyed working at the hospital and often talked about those times and the many friends that she made while working there. She had many hobbies and enjoyed everything she did, including crocheting, knitting, sewing, quilting, and making rugs from polyester material. The old saying, "She who dies with the most material wins," well she wins first place. She loved to make baby blankets, crochet dresses, sweaters, and booties for the new babies in the family, and for anyone who wanted those things. She was always busy late into the night. She quilted many, many quilts all by herself. Phyllis was also an avid bowler. This gave her a lot of enjoyment after the passing of her husband. Phyllis is survived by her children. Paul F. (Debbie) Weaver, of Tooele, Utah, (Twayne) Jo Ann Taylor of Montpelier, Idaho, and Nina Weaver of Pocatello, Idaho; one brother, Verlyn Freeman of Boise, Idaho; 16 grandchildren; and 35 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lyman, two sons, Phil and Jerry, her parents, two sisters, Blanch and Barbara, and two brothers, Clyde and Jack Freeman. A special thanks to all of those dedicated individuals who went above and beyond their regular duties to take care of our mother at the Bear Lake Skilled Nursing Facility. We cannot thank you enough for all you did for her. Funeral services are scheduled on Tuesday, October 4, at 1 p.m. in the Montpelier 2nd Ward LDS Chapel, where friends may visit with family that morning from 11 a.m. until 12:45. Interment will be in the Montpelier City Cemetery.
