Phyllis was a devout catholic, practiced her Faith daily, and believed in the power of prayer. She will be remembered for having a great sense of humor and a kind heart. Phyllis was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved her family deeply and enjoyed spending time with them.

Survivors include her three sons: Jim Bornick, Nyon, Switzerland; Dave (Patti) Bornick, Coleman; and Joe (Patsy) Bornick, Green Bay; 6 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren (with 1 on the way), and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her Parents and Husband, Phyllis was preceded in death by her 2 brothers, 6 sisters, and her cherished cat, Petie.
