Phyllis Jean (Storms) Coleman January 10 1934 - June 9 2018 Phyllis Jean (Storms) Coleman was born January 10, 1934 in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho at home to James E. and Elfrieda (Frieda) F. (George) Storms. She joined a family of three older sisters, Gladys, Grayce, and Roberta (Berta). A few years later brother James (Jim) would com- plete the family. Her father was a mas- ter tradesman and his skills took them too many locations, including logging camps located miles from towns. It was a wonderful life for a child. Her father played City Baseball with Joe Albertson. She would talk about when Joe Albertson opened his first grocery store in Boise, ID, 1939, would give her and Jim ice cream cones. Eventual- ly, the family settled in Emmett, Idaho where Phyllis attended school. Like many, her life changed drastically on December 7, 1941. Her fa- ther was sent to the Aleutians and Frieda packed up the household and moved to Fort Lawton, in Seattle, WA. Frieda cooked in commentaries and took in laundry while the family, with millions of others, waited for their husbands, fathers and sons to come home. After the war the family returned to Emmett where Phyllis graduated from High School in 1952. Later that year she accompanied Frieda to Chicago, IL for the National Democratic Convention. Frieda was a Kafauver delegate and Phyllis had a pass to the floor. The convention wanted to vote Adlai Stevenson unanimously and Frieda and Phyllis were wined and dined with under the table deals hinted at to get Frieda to change her vote. She stood firm, saying she represented others in Idaho and wouldn’t break faith with them. Stevenson would be the delegate but not unan- imous. Phyllis attended one year at BYU, then returned home, working at a Downtown Boise Department Store, doing window displays as well as working the floor. It was during this time she also participated in the Miss Boise pageant, and got her pilots license. She later to moved with her parents, to Cove, Oregon, where she worked for the City of LaGrande Water Department. In 1958 she met Jack Coleman at the Elgin Stampede, and later that year went on a double date, but not with each other. They were married October 3, 1959 at the Method- ist Church in LaGrande, Oregon. Many were happy to see them tie the knot but not so happy to miss the first day of hunting season. They settled in Wallowa where Jack was in partnership with Cecil Chris- man. In 1962 and 1966 Jacqueline (Jackie) and Rebecca (Beckie) were born. When the girls were older Phyllis thought she would just “fill in” at the office after the proverbial “irreplaceable secretary” (Mary Gray) retired. “Filling in” ended up being 20+ years. Jack and Phyllis enjoyed traveling both before and after retirement, visiting countries in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean as well as the US, Canada and Mexico. Retirement found them moving to Eugene to be closer to family and then eventu- ally settling full time in Yuma, AZ where they had been wintering for many years. In 2013 Phyllis and Jack moved to Jacksonville, OR to again be closer to family. Phyllis died at home June 9, 2018. She was preced- ed in death by Jack, her parents, her siblings, and a nephew, Stephen Maynard, who was killed in Vietnam. She is survived by her daughters, Jackie Ramsing (Steve), Rebecca Wren (Greg), grandchildren: Patrick Ramsing (Lydia), Peter Ramsing (Allison), Marissa Thomas, Lucas Wren (Nicole), Bethany Wren Hodges (David), Jake Wren, and Terra Rambo, and nine great-grandchildren, and many nephews and nieces.
