MARSHALLTOWN —
Phyllis Jeannette Dicks, 83, of Marshalltown, formerly of Moravia, passed from life on Oct. 20, 2012 at the Southridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Marshalltown.
Phyllis was born April 26, 1929 to John and Lucy (Vaughn) Laws. She was one of three children with brothers, John and Dale.

Phyllis, with her ever present smile, will be missed dearly by all who knew her, but most of all by her family. Her loving husband of 62 years, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will always remember her kindness and constant caring presence in their lives.
She and her husband loved traveling and wintering in Texas for 14 years. Her enjoyment for life was infectious with many interests including gardening, sewing, quilting, cooking, shopping and of course time spent with family and friends.

Her grandchildren provided her with great joy and happiness. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Lucy; brothers, Dale and John; and her beloved son, Nick.
