Phyllis I. Conway

     Phyllis I. Conway, age 91 of Brodhead, died Friday October 28, 2022 at Monroe Health Services. She was born on August 7, 1931 in Slayton, MN, the daughter of George and Hattie (Parish) Wentzel. She attended school at Currie, MN. Phyllis worked at Suntree Country Club in Florida for many years, retiring in 1994. She was a member of the Church of the Nazarene in Brodhead. Phyllis enjoyed spending time with her family. She always enjoyed doing crafts with the grandchildren. She also enjoyed doing plastic canvas creations, word puzzles, picture puzzles, thrift store shopping and going to rummage sales with her friends. But her most favorite time of all, other than her family, was watching pro wrestling with her best friend Nancy Frye. They watched that show every week and knew the name of every wrestler on it. Thank you Nancy for being such a good friend to Mom.

     She is survived by her children: Debbie (Steve Runice) of Brodhead, Pam Conway of Brodhead, Steve Johnson of Milton, and Cheryl (Daniel) Tschudy of Shopiere; 7 grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren; brothers:  George (Carol) Wentzel of Troy, MI, Boyd Wentzel of South Lyon, MI; sister: Joyce Simons of Brodhead. She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Daniel, Stanley, Lloyd Wentzel and sister, Betty Wentzel.

     Per Phyllis’s wishes, private services will be held. Burial will take place at Greenwood cemetery, Brodhead. EVERSON Funeral Home is assisting the family.

     The family would like to send a heartfelt thanks to Mary Ripper for all she did for our Mom. Your kindness to mom will never be forgotten. Thank you; to the Monroe Health Services and staff, thank you for all you did in the care of our mother, My Choice Wisconsin for always being there to answer any and all questions, no matter how big of how small, and to St. Croix hospice, Emily and Monica, for being so patient and kind to our Mom throughout this whole process. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all.
