Sugar Camp, Wisconsin
Phyllis Lorbetske, age 90, died peacefully at home on the family farm in Sugar Camp on November 14, 2010.
She was born on the farm on June 1, 1920. It was there she lived all her life, first as daughter to Martin and Magdalen Kunda, then as loving wife to Tony, then as kind, generous, and indulgent mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to her numerous descendants.
As a child, she attended Sunset School in Sugar Camp. There, at the age of ten, she met Tony. He would become her husband a decade later.
Phyllis and Tony started farming together in the 1940's. And together they created a home which was the heart of a loving family, including a large extended family, all through the years and to the present day. Their long and happy marriage lasted until Tony's death in 2003.
In addition to her parents and husband, Phyllis was preceded in death by her son Jeff and by her sisters and brothers, Helen, Regina, Virginia, Ernest, Clements, Elton, and Edward.
She is survived by her children, Brent, Adrian, Ellen, Eleanor, and Laura, grandchildren Scarlet, Kelly, Tony, Maggie, Tara, Nicholas, Cere, Indigo, Sara, and Josie, great-grandchildren Michael, Katie, Hannah, Matthew, Alexandria, Maddie, Anna, Azari, Aiden, and baby girl Gardner, sons-in-law Vince and Mark, grandsons-in-law John, Sean, Deni, Ryan, and Paul, granddaughter-in-law Terri, grandchildren's parents Emmy, Nancy, and Mark, and faithful dog Sawyer.
