Phyllis LaVern (Kitt) Theobald
Phyllis was born on Jan. 23, 1915, the oldest child of Lee and May Kitt. She grew up and attended school in Wauneta, Neb. Upon graduating high school in 1931, Phyllis began teaching in Dundy County, Neb. and did so until she married George "Dale" Theobald in 1937. The couple married and started a family several years later, having a son, Kent, in 1944, and a daughter, Brenda in 1948. In 1951 the family moved to Lisco, Neb., and the youngest of their children was born, D'Ann in 1953. In 1956, Phyllis, Dale and family, moved to Powell, Wyo., to better care for their asthmatic children, (hoping the high, thin air would be easier for their young, sensitive lungs). While there Dale was offered ownership at the local John Deere dealership. Phyllis and her family remained in Powell, until 1969, when Dale, while attending a Nebraska Cornhusker football game, had a massive stroke and died a few days later.

In 1972 Phyllis became a grandmother with her grandson, Ty, being born to son, Kent and daughter-in-law, Pat. Twelve years later, in 1984, her youngest daughter, D'Ann and her son-in-law, Greg, had Angela, making Phyllis a grandmother once again.
Phyllis remained in Longmont spending her time with family, traveling, enjoying friend's company and being active in her church community. Phyllis returned to Southwest Nebraska, in 1996 and made her home at the Imperial Heights. In 1998 tragedy struck and her youngest daughter, D'Ann, died while living in Arizona. Not long after D'Ann died, Phyllis went through the tragic loss of her other daughter, Brenda, who while spending Easter break in Imperial suffered a massive stroke and died less than a month later.
Phyllis lived the rest of her days at the Imperial Manor Nursing Home, enjoying visits from family and friends, attending church services and Bible studies and keeping active with activities (especially Bingo).
