December 12, 2010Bergquist, Phyllis Leone Died Friday, December 3, 2010 at her daughter's home in Lexington, KY.
Born December 17, 1922 in the rural Minnesota town of Litchfield, she was the second of three children of George and Nellie Swanson.
At the age of 3, little Phyllis was lifted onto the piano bench of First Baptist Church in Grove City and proceeded to perform a piano duet with her mother Nellie, the church organist. It was the first of literally thousands of public piano performances. Phyllis was known for her spontaneous, remarkable piano playing "by ear," which brought much delight and comfort to countless listeners. Not only could she hear music and replicate it at the keyboard (with even more nuanced harmonic changes), but she also always asked others to join in the singing and music-making. Family gatherings were filled with joyful, uplifting music - sacred and popular - from all eras. God gave her a unique gift that she generously shared with others, including: Christian Women's Club (both in Edina and downtown Minneapolis), Methodist Hospital (stroke victims unit and Hospital foundation special events), Wooddale Church (dinner theater, musicals, and the annual Christmas Tea), Presbyterian Homes at Beacon Hill (Sunday chapel, and special concerts with daughter Ginny), and the Sanibel Yacht Club. Additionally, Phyllis had a lovely mezzo voice, participating in Cecilian Singers of Minneapolis, in a select group directed by Edith Norberg, in the Manor Tones of St. Louis Park. She and her husband were long-time members of the First Baptist Church choir of Minneapolis. Phyllis loved to entertain, displaying her warm gift of hospitality by opening her homes (in St. Louis Park and Bay Lake in Deerwood, MN and later at Beacon Hill in Minnetonka) for delicious meals, baby and bridal showers, birthdays, progressive dinners, and New Year's Eve galas. Singing and music always were a part of these happy events. The sustaining force of her life was her lifelong faith in her Lord Jesus Christ.
After the sudden death of her precious husband of 46 years, Hilding Linné Bergquist, Phyllis was repeatedly comforted by the words of Isaiah 43, "I have called you by name and you are Mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you."
She missed "Bergy" daily, but continued to live a purposeful life and enjoyed opportunities to travel to Africa, Israel, Ireland, Scandinavia, and many vacations to the homes of her four adult children throughout the country. Phyl was deeply loved and her joyous, up-for- anything spirit leaves a great void in our lives.
Preceded in death by her husband Hilding (Bergy) in 1988 and her sister Marian (Moya) Uram in 2008, she is survived by her brother David Swanson, and by her children: Kathleen (Leslie) Klemt, Virginia (David) Bowles, Roger (Mariya) Bergquist, and Julie (James) Cox. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren: Lisa (Mark) Quiroz, David Klemt, Laura (Matt) Foster, Baylee and Caleb Cox, Daniel and Jonathan Bergquist, and by her great-grandchildren Natalie and Nicholas Quiroz, and many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews.
