Phyllis Earick was born and raised in Ashland County and graduated from Ashland High School in 1952. Phyllis and her husband had three children and together, operated a registered Holstein dairy farm for 34 years.

Phyllis states, “My religious faith has been and continues to be my most important guide in this ‘journey of life.’ I choose to share a small legacy with the two churches that were an integral part in the development of this faith, helping them to continue ‘planting the seeds of faith’ into perpetuity.”

Phyllis decided to leave her money with the Ashland County Community Foundation because of ACCF’s integrity and purpose in the ability to fulfill her charitable desire.
