In 1987 they opened Rockwood Bargains in Wadena, and later moved the business to Staples until closing in 2003. They resided near Sebeka until 1995 when they moved into Wadena. Phyllis returned to Sebeka in March of 2019 to reside at Providence Villa. Phyllis was a member of the Wadena Alliance Church and served several years as a Deaconess.
