Phyllis Ann Feldmeier

Phyllis Ann Feldmeier, 90, of Hokah, MN died on October 20, 2019 at the Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse. She was born on March 18, 1929 to Frank and Matilda (Forer) Heberlein. Phyllis grew up and attended country school in Thompson Valley and later moved with her parents, brothers and sister to Bush Valley. She married Bernie Feldmeier on October 16, 1954 at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Hokah. They had two children.

Phyllis traveled with Bernie to Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Missouri and Colorado while he served in the Air Force. Much of this time was spent in Missouri where Phyllis worked at a Kansas City hospital, assisting nurses working with patients. Eventually they returned to Minnesota, settling down in Hokah.

Phyllis performed a number of jobs throughout her life. One of her favorites was providing child care in her home for kids in the neighborhood. She will be remembered for her love of baking cookies and breads, always having a colorful garden, sewing countless doll clothes and beautiful embroidery work, and enjoying years of camping with Bernie and friends. She was always busy doing something.

Phyllis is survived by her husband of 65 years, Bernie; son, Mike; daughter-in-law, Anna; daughter, Deb; son-in-law, Chris, two grandchildren, Sierra and Tony; sister Arlene, and many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers the family is wishing that any donations be made to Neighbors in Action, 333 Main Street, La Crescent, MN 55947.
