Phyllis lived her life in Kenosha since childhood. As a young woman, she was employed at the American Brass Co. and as fate would have it, it was there that she met her future husband, Roger V. Vincent Jr. They were married on April 19, 1952, in Kenosha.

Following the joy of caring for the home and raising her four children, Phyllis was employed as a nursing assistant for many years at Kenosha Memorial Hospital. Phyllis was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church and St. Anne Catholic Church, was a huge Chicago Cubs fan, and was an avid follower and supporter of her husband as he coached the Ken Crete Little League team in Kenosha for over 45 years. Phyllis also loved movies, music, fine arts and dancing.
