Though we knew Dad was waiting for her, it was with great reluctance we said goodbye for now to our beloved Mom, Grandma, Great grandma, loving Aunt and friend to so many special people in her life. Born October 15, 1928, to Owen and Edith Warren who she described as "the best of Mom & Dads", her childhood was fun and untroubled as far back as she could remember. She spent many happy days with her grandparents who lived on the ranch at Nelson, MT. She rode her horse, Pigeon, back and forth between the Montana Power substation, where she lived with her sister, two brothers and parents, to school up the gulch toward the Missouri river back and forth past the ranch avoiding the occasional rattlesnake or bobcat. "For entertainment I had the creek to wade in and lots of sandy dirt to play roads and trucks with a big cedar bush on the hill above the ranch a favorite place to be."She married the love of her life, Anton "Tony" Jakovac, on April 12, 1946 and they loved each other so very well for 59 years until Dad died in 2005. It was with great delight after their first 7 married years to welcome daughter Debbie and later Jacque to the family. They bought their first house in Helena in 1946 and went on to build several more. As a widow at age 77 Mom had one final house built on University street. Well into her 80's she was using soccer cleats to garden so finally agreed to move one last time to allow us to keep a closer watch over her.Mom never looked away from growth and change over the years. She stayed up with the affairs of the world and regularly made salads for funerals at the Cathedral. She wrote and self-published "Helena's Figure Eight Route: A Reminiscent History" on the history of Beavercreek where she grew up in the hills above York, MT. She and Dad snowmobiled for many winters together (her nickname was "Tailfeathers") and they spent summers camping with many of their close and wonderful friends. They only missed a few weekends putting up hay. In their later years they travelled in the motorhome, once going to the Maine coast to visit family. She was part of the women's auxiliary fire department in the Helena valley for many years and remained friends with all over the years. Everyone who knew her basked in the warmth of her personality and generosity. Her niece described her as all "finesse and wonder." Phyllis treated everyone in her life with a smile, kindness, respect, and always an offer of something good to eat including an endless supply of great cookies! She was an amazingly energetic person well into her old age, had a fabulous green thumb and loved sharing plants with neighbors, friends and family. She kept water and food for the birds year round and loved all the family dogs. Family dinners and visiting were a highlight, as well as weekly dinners out with her group of friends until Covid ended that lovely ritual. She enjoyed music, was a great whistler and had a lovely singing voice. She was so beautiful, took care of us on so many levels and met life's tasks with enthusiasm and a sunny outlook. She loved and was loved by so many.She was blessed with six grandchildren who all had a close relationship with her as they grew up with her love and support. Much to her delight she also had five great grandchildren.She died on October 13, 2021, with her daughters and beloved dog Rosie by her side, her heart worn out and finally ready to rest. Thank you Hospice for your wisdom and caring that allowed us to care for her at home. We are very grateful.Phyllis is survived by her daughters Debbie Jakovac and Jacque Jakovac (Don Cornish).; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren Susan Andrus (Michael Becker) and their children Nathan, Zefram and Veda; Melany Gardner (Sam) and sons Huxley and Gavin; Ben Rostocki (Stephani), Hannah Rostocki (Tim Gauthier), Dylan Cornish and Steven Cornish (Telyn Joseph) and many beloved friends, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by Dad, her parents and siblings and in-laws, several beloved nieces and nephews and so many dear friends. She summed it up best by writing "what a great, great life I've had." See you on the other side Mom!
