Phyllis Dorlene (Hook) Pies, 75, of Conrad died November 9, 2006, at her home. Funeral services and a celebration of her life were held November 13 at the Colfax Center Presbyterian Church in Holland. Interment followed services in the Colfax Center Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Memorials may be directed to the church in her name.

Phyllis Dorlene (Hook) Pies was born December 8, 1930 in rural Grundy County, the daughter of Harm G. and Martha Hook. She married Gerald Pies on April 20, 1955 and they moved to Conrad. She spent the last 51 years involved in the community she adopted as a new bride. Over the last 30 years many of you may have seen her smiling face at the cash register in the Conrad Pharmacy. She dearly loved all the contact with friends and neighbors this work provided. Getting together with friends was her main hobby and she enjoyed attending monthly Entre Nous Club and Legion Auxiliary meetings. Phyllis was a lifelong, faithful member of Colfax Center Presbyterian Church, participating in many ministries including choir, WIC and Sunday school.

She is survived by her only child, daughter Connie Lovelady and husband Alan; a sister, Marcy Knaack and husband Bob; a brother, Roger Hook and wife Nancy of Grundy Center; three sisters-in-law, Arlene Pies, Shirley Smeins and husband Paul and Dorothy Seatoh; a brother-in-law, Newton Clawson; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband.
