Phyllis was known for her warm heart and joyful spirit. She found her greatest happiness in her grandchildren, especially "the twins," and treasured every moment spent with family and friends. She enjoyed square dancing, crafting, sewing, reading, selling Avon, and being part of everyone's life. She also dearly loved her dogs, Little Bit and Scooby.

In 1954, Phyllis was honored as The Poultry Queen of Oklahoma County in 1954, a fitting recognition for someone whose love for chickens became a lifelong passion. From dishes and wallpaper to yard décor, chickens brought her delight and reflected her playful and creative personality.

Phyllis is survived by her devoted husband, Billy McCombs; daughter, Christine Garcia and husband Tony; sons Brett McCombs, Brad McCombs, and Brandon McCombs and wife Brandy; 11 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. She also shared a special friendship with Maxine Dollar.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Zora Netherton; sisters Irene Hoskins and Katie Murphy; and her twin sister, Patsy Alward.

Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
