 Phyllis Willingham, 90, passed away on March 20, 2026, in Wichita Falls, Texas. Born in Enid, Oklahoma, Phyllis—affectionately known as Momma Willy, Grandma, and Mema—was a woman who lived to see her family grow across five remarkable generations.

 Momma Willy loved taking the family camping at Sulphur Springs, which inspired the secret family recipe for "Slop." She also enjoyed baking cakes, painting, and, as many of you know, her passion for watching a good movie with her loved ones.

 Married to Sam Willingham from 1962 to 1985, she was the heart of a home filled with five boys. She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law: Robert Willingham; Ray and Susana Willingham; Randy and Sandy Willingham; and Russell Willingham. Grandma's legacy continues through 10 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great-grandchildren, and two more expected soon. 

She was preceded in death by Sam Willingham and her beloved son, Ricky Willingham. 

The family extends special thanks to the family, friends, doctors, nurses, CNAs, and receptionists who provided such love and support in Phyllis's final days. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Hospice of Wichita Falls.
