Her Story

​

Phyllis was born on July 28, 1928, to Robert H. and Margaret Lee Miller in Strasburg, MO. She was the fourth of five children and grew up around the Kansas City area.

Phyllis married her husband, the late Dr. Carl N. Scheneman, on March 1, 1947. They eventually moved to Columbia in 1950 and raised two children there. Phyllis was a homemaker throughout her married life and was devoted to her husband and two children. She served as officer and committee member of several PTAs as their children advanced through the Columbia Public Schools. She was also a valued member of the Grace Circle – King’s Daughters for many years. During her time in Grace Circle, she served as an officer and participated in many planning committees for activities that her circle was involved in, such as the annual Charity Ball. Phyllis and her husband, Carl (former Vice President for Extension) were a true “team” throughout his career at the University of Missouri. She also enjoyed attending sporting events at MU, as well as those of her children and grandchildren.

Phyllis, affectionately know as “Boo” to her grandchildren (and other friends too!), was a great cook and spent many weekends making food for her family at the lake house on the Lake of the Ozarks. After afternoons of swimming, skiing and tubing, everyone was more than ready to eat. The nightly dinners, which her grandchildren dubbed as “Boo’s Buffet,” were definitely enjoyed by all! So were the afternoon snack trays that she always carried down to the boat dock.
