Phyllis Wiseman 

December 25, 1958 – July 22, 2025

Phyllis Wiseman, our beautiful mother, grandmother, sister, and dear friend passed away July 22, 2025 in Orem, Utah after a 9-month battle with uterine cancer. She was surrounded by her three daughters Melissa, Jennie and Diane, who were at her side as she returned home to her Heavenly Father and loving husband, Wayne.

Phyllis was born on Christmas Day in 1958 and grew up in Huntington Beach, California. It was in her stake where she met and fell in love with her husband Wayne Wiseman. After dating for only a few weeks, they each knew that they had found the love of their lives and were promptly engaged and later married on February 2, 1979. They had three daughters who they raised in Riverside, California until making the decision to move to Cedar Hills, Utah in 1996.

Phyllis was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She shared her love of Jesus Christ by living with unwavering faith and as an example of unconditional love to all those around her. She would continuously look for opportunities to serve her family, friends and even strangers. She had a deep passion for learning and personal growth and enjoyed spending her time reading, cooking, canning, sewing and family history. Most of her time was spent being an adoring and devoted mother, grandmother, and friend.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her husband Arthur Wayne Wiseman and her mother and stepfather Luella and Dale Porter. She is survived by her daughters: Melissa (Tyson) Turner, Jennie (Adam) Gundersen, Diane (Scott) Prestriedge, her 8 grandchildren, and 5 siblings.

There will be a viewing on Monday, July 28th at the Warenski Funeral Home (1776 North 900 East, American Fork, Utah) from 9:00am-10:00am followed by a graveside service at the Alpine Cemetery (400 Grove Dr. Alpine, Utah) at 10:30am. All are invited to attend.
