Phyllis Jeannette Garrett arrived in Woodbine at 1:30 a.m. August 18, 1926.
  Her parents, Ray and Olive Oesterreich Garrett were to have one daughter and
  four sons, Vern, Reed, Willis and Rowe. Her first enjoyable past time was to
  lie in her buggy and watch the windmill. She has continued to go around in 
  circles!
       Many of those circles are in the educational fiels; grade school at Walnut
  Grove and Herington grade schools; high school at Woodbine, college at Bethany
  College, Lindsborg, Kansas; Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana; Scarritt 
  College in Nashville, Tennessee; Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas, and
  last, but not least, St. Paul School of Theologty in Kansas City, Missouri. 
       There were short term circles such as serving as a cook for a children's home,
  file clerk on an air force base; waitress in the coffee shop at Wesley Medical 
  Center in Wichita; church camp counselor; chair of the Chippewa Development 
  committee; member of the Kansas East Conference Board of Ordained Ministry.
       The most important circle started in 1976 when she was appointed as pastor 
  to the United Methodist Churches in Powhattan and Everest, Kansas. In 1980 she
  was appointed to the church in Eureka, Kansas. She resides there with her feline
  friends, Snowball, Sammy Joe and Sugarfoot.
       Phyllis plans to retire at the age of 70 and spend the next 20 years
  learning a new role in society.
