Phyllis Ann Scharlemann (nee Wiebusch), 87, claimed the promise of her baptism on March 7, 2024 in Lafayette, Colorado after a journey with COPD, cancer, and pneumonia. Phyllis was born on January 4, 1937 to Harlem Wiebusch and Lorena (Allers) Wiebusch in Lake City, Minnesota. She had two siblings: Ralph Wiebusch and Janice Mumford.

Phyllis graduated from high school in 1954, and worked for Ranch Manor Restaurant, Denver Public Schools, and Safeway. She retired in 1988.
