Phyllis B Fell

Phyllis was born on Feb 16, 1923, in Larned, Ks to Donna Alta Hopkins and Lawrence M. Wonsetler as their sixth and last child. She grew up as the daughter of a dairy farmer, thus performed many farm chores as a young child, and rode her pony 5 miles to school between the ages of 6 and 12.

In September, 1943 she married Albert when he returned from the European theater of World War II, where he had flown P38 Lightnings for the Army Air Corps. Subsequently they had four sons: David Alan (Tulsa, OK), Douglas Kirk (San Antonio), Gregory Lynn (Baton Rouge, LA), and Bruce Wesley (Austin).

Phyllis and Albert spent 21 years in the US Air Force, then retired in Austin, TX, in 1961. Later they moved to Canyon Lake for their final retirement home. After Albert’s death in 1994, Phyllis moved to San Antonio.

She is survived by her four sons and their wives: David and Anne, Douglas and Christina, Gregory and Gary, and Bruce and Tracy.
