Helen “Phyllis” Hannel Bundt, the daughter of Clarence and Helen Rodine, was born on July 12, 1934 in Des Moines, Iowa.  Phyllis grew up in the Des Moines area until the age of 9 when her family relocated to Ida Grove, Iowa. Graduating from Ida Grove High School, Phyllis went on to further her education at Iowa State Teachers college of Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Phyllis entered into marriage to Royce John Hannel Sr. on September 20, 1953 in Odebolt, Iowa. The couple were blessed with four children: Cindy, Royce Jr., Joel, and Tina.  Royce passed away on June 4, 1984, at the University Hospitals of Iowa City after a brief illness at the age of 52. Phyllis went on to marry Kenneth Bundt in October of 1988 in Boston, Massachusetts. Kenneth passed away on June 24, 2002.

Phyllis was a gentle, kind hearted woman who worked as a homemaker and book keeper throughout her life. She was a Girl Scout leader, taught Head Start, and helped with the Historical Society. Phyllis was adventurous, loved riding horses, taking family vacations and traveling, playing Uno with her grandchildren, mini golf, and biking. But most of all Phyllis treasured her family.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving children, Royce Jr. and wife Charis Hannel of Sellersburg, Indiana, Joel and his wife Amy Hannel of Fort Collins, Colorado, Tina and husband Kris Krager of Ida Grove, Iowa; 13 grandchildren, 13 great- grandchildren, 1 great- great grandchild; sister, Karen and husband Roger Pfleeger of Hinton, Iowa; sister-in-law, Renate Rodine Katholf of Kapolei, Hawaii; special friend Larry Weathers of Fayetteville, Arkansas; and extended family and friends.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her husbands, Royce Hannel Sr. and Kenneth Bundt; daughter, Cindy Philip and husband Jim Philip; and brothers, Ralph and Richard Rodine.
