Dates
Phyllis Louise Walcott, or “Memom” as she was affectionately known, was born March 22, 1941, in San Angelo Texas to Herbert Dixon Affleck and Veronica “Betty” Affleck. Phyllis was the eldest of 3 children, Robert “Bobby” Affleck, who preceded her in death, and Dianne Faith. Phyllis attended Immaculate Conception Catholic School. When Phyllis was in first grade she would meet her future husband, fourth grader Ronald Dale Walcott “Ronnie”. Ronnie and Phyllis, against all the odds, would be married on May 20, 1957. This union would spring the birth of four children; Laura Dale Richter, Kristi Ann Stone, Dennette Marie Shoob, and Ronald Michael “Mike” Walcott. As the matriarch of the Walcott family, Phyllis would pave the way for Ronnie to begin laying the foundation together for Aladdin’s Carpet Company. They opened their doors in 1968, and are still providing services to the Concho Valley to this very day. Another great joy for Phyllis was when she became a grandmother and was granted the name “Memom”. Phyllis was known for her numerous attributes. She held an unbreakable faith in our Lord and her husband and children. Her kindness and patience were infinite and unwavering. She was truly the pillar of her family, and her empathic nature had the valiance to overcome the most turbulent of times in the lives of all whom she encountered. On March 31, 2024, Phyllis left her earthly home and entered the kingdom of heaven. Her light will never truly be replicated but will live on in her surviving Husband, 4 children, 6 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and several pets that she loved dearly.
