Phyllis was the daughter of Leonard and Vera Bertha, whose maiden name was Ming. They married in 1917. Vera was the daughter of Thomas and Annie Ming and sister of Herbert William who died in the Great War.

Phyllis’s father’s death is recorded on her memorial; he may never have known his daughter as he died shortly before she did and is buried in France. Vera died in 1962 and her ashes were interred in 1963.
