Phyllis Irene Link was born on February 20, 1929, to the late Frank and Mary (Brightzemen) Link at home during a blizzard that had caused horses eyes to freeze shut, so the Dr. had to stay overnight. She attended school in a 1 room school house, with all of her relatives. She had 3 brothers: Vernie, Arthur, and Kenneth, and 7 sisters: Dorthy, Eleanor, Mary Lou, Paula, Pauline, Jeanette, and Verna Mae. Phyllis graduated from Glenwood City High School IN Wisconsin. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church until she met her husband, Louis Kedrowski, then joined the Catholic Church. They got their marriage blessed at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Minneapolis on November 11, 1948. They started out farming, then picked potatoes in North Dakota. After North Dakota, the couple moved and settled in Minneapolis. Phyllis and Louis had 5 children, Joyce, Patricia, Thomas, John, and lost 1 son at birth. Phyllis will always be remembered for her giving ways and all of the $2.00 bills she gave when sending out birthday cards. As a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, she earned the title as the “Onion Queen” for all of the onions she chopped for funeral luncheons and the church bazaars, in which she chopped over 50lbs for the bazaar each year. She still met with the girls she worked with for over 27 years for lunch once a month in which they were known as the “Sperry Univac Girls.” Phyllis will be greatly missed by all she met on the many trips she took with Neil’s Bus Trips. May God Give You Peace. Phyllis is survived by her sister, Verna Mae; loving son, John; and daughters, Joyce and Patricia (Bruce); grandchildren, Christopher (Joni), Eric (Elizabeth), Amy (Kevin), Jonathan (Marissa); great-grandchildren, Tyler, Arizona, Lily, and the joy of her life, her “little chubby wubby” Selina Rose; and many nieces and nephews. Phyllis was preceded in death by husband, Louis Kedrowski and her 6 sisters and 3 brothers.
