Birth date: Mar 16, 1952 Death date: Jan 2, 2023
Dear friends, our beloved handmaiden, Phyllis Roark-Koch abandoned her physical garment and ascended to the spiritual world on Monday January 2nd, 2023. Phyllis, forever in the hearts of her husband, Jesse; sons, Jeremy and Clayt Read Obituary
Phyllis, you were loved and cherished by so many. You endured lots of tragedy and overcame them with love. I imagine you are over the moon to be with Clayton. Give each other big loves from me. We appreciate you guys looking out for us from your spiritual home. Know that while you are truly loved and missed, it is comforting to know you no longer suffer and exist in peace and love.
We met Phyllis when we first moved to Mesquite. We became friends very quickly and the friendship grew stronger over the 35 years. We watched each other's kids grow up and one of my husband's favorite things to do was to tease Phyllis when the Packers played the Cowboys. They gave each other a hard time but it was always good fun. Phyllis gave her all to her loved ones and her friends. We will treasure our memories forever.
Until we meet again, rest in peace sweet friend.
Phyllis was the Chapter Leader of The Compassionate Friends in Mesquite/Garland. She helped many families that had lost a child, sibling, or grandchild. She touched my life deeply. I know that her son Clayton, and her brother, Paul, was there to greet her. Much love to Jesse, Jeremy, and Scarlet as they grieve her loss.
