Phyllis Hutton, age 84, of Plymouth, Indiana, passed away Wednesday July 22, 2020. Phyllis was born on November 30, 1935 to Walter and Mildred (Singleton) Luse in Plymouth, Indiana.
On July 15, 1950 she married Robert Caldwell in Crown Point, IN and together had four wonderful children, Jim, Dave, Deb and Jeff. Sadly, Robert passed away on November 28, 1961. Phyllis worked at various jobs while raising and providing for her children, eventually retiring from St. Anthony Hospital in Crown Point.

They shared life together and traveled around the country, as she put it, “seeing sights she never thought she’d see.”
