Phyllis was born to Gunther and Marie (Clark) Otto on May 25, 1925. Following graduation from Tulare High School she married Delmar Schultz. To this union were born three sons: Roger, Alan and Robert.

On the farm Phyllis gardened, canned and cooked marvelous meals for hired men and visiting hunters. Mardi Gras was an annual event with the Tulare gang usually taking the prize for best costume.

Delmar died in 1980. Phyllis later married Robert Ehrich and they resided in Piedmont, SD.

Phyllis enjoyed making and teaching ceramics, making porcelain dolls, painting still life, toll painting and counted cross-stitch. The dolls were her legacy to her family. Crossword puzzles were her daily challenge.
