Phyllis Marie Schmitz was born on May 30, 1927, in Lemmon, South Dakota to parents Ralph and Mary (Fritschen) Schmitz. Phyllis grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, graduating from high school at age 16. She attended secretarial school and started working for Standard Oil Company in Fargo, where she met the boss' son, Robert B. Worrall. Phyllis and Robert were married on May 17, 1947, in Fargo. They welcomed their son, Bruce in 1948, shortly thereafter, the new family moved to Fergus Falls, Minnesota and then Duluth, Minnesota, where daughter Jeanne was born. Robert was transferred to Huron, South Dakota in 1957. Standard Oil told the family not to buy a house as they would be transferred soon to either Chicago or Australia. With this, Robert retired from Standard Oil and bought the Traveler Motel in Huron, which he and Phyllis owned and operated together for many years. Roger, Brian, and Susan completed their family. While raising her family, Phyllis also enjoyed working outside of the home for Luddy's Flower Shop and Rainbow Flower Shop. She was the executive secretary for The Daily Plainsman for 16 years. After retirement, Phyllis kept busy as a Pink Lady and hospice volunteer at Huron Regional Medical Center.

Spending time with her family was of utmost importance to Phyllis. Whether it be family dinners, camping, or attending her grandchildren and great-grandchildren's activities, Phyllis loved being with family.  She was an active member of St. Martin Catholic Church and Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in Huron.
