Phyllis was preceded in death by her husband, Hubert A. Surbaugh; sister, Dolores Evelyn Evans Terry and her husband, James Edmond Terry.

Phyllis was a 1952 graduate of Collins High School in Oak Hill. In
1969 she began pursuing an ambition to further her education by enrolling in her first night class at Beckley College, receiving a two- year Associate of Arts degree. She commuted to night classes at Morris Harvey College (now the University of Charleston) and received a Regents Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating cum laude, from West Virginia Institute of Technology in 1980. During this time, her husband often would humorously introduce her as "his professional student."

She began her banking career at Merchants and Miners National Bank (later Bank One) in 1965, retiring in 1996 as an administrative assistant.

Phyllis was a former member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority, the Oak
Hill Junior Women's Club, and was past president and former member
of the Oak Hill Business and Professional Women's Club. She was also a
member of the Rhododendron Chapter of National Association of
Bank Women, the American Institute of Banking, and the White Oak Country Club. She attended the Oak Hill United Methodist Church.
