Phyllis Ann Brown Curtiss, 75

HARRINGTON - Phyllis Ann Brown Curtiss, was picked for God's bouquet on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008. She was 75. God only picks the best. Phyllis was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be remembered for her laughter, which was contagious. Phyllis worked for the former W.T. Grant Company for 25 years before it closed. She worked for the J.C. Penney Company in Milford until it closed, and then transferred to the loan department of J.C. Penney Bank in Harrington, which was sold to the First National Bank of Wyoming and she retired from there. After a few months of retirement, she went to work for Happy Harry's in Harrington.
