Phyllis was the eldest child of Herb and Mirl Adams. She was born August 11, 1925 in Fleming SK. She studied nursing at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Regina before marrying Joseph Hanson.

Phyllis was remarkable and will be remembered for her passion for gardening and reading, her skill at knitting and sewing, and her love of card playing, and antiques and auctions.
She was a tremendously compassionate, loving woman with a zest for life, a phenomenal memory for dates and historical events, and a love of traveling.
