Phyllis Perry Hulton Educational Trust

Phyllis Perry was a graduate of Marshalltown High School in 1942. She attended Marshalltown Business College and then worked as a personal secretary to the vice president of Sterling Steel Company in Pittsburgh. She married Kenneth Hulton. They did not have children. Phyllis retired in 1965 and later returned to Marshalltown. Phyllis died in 1994.  In her will, she set up an Educational Trust and left money for her 1942 classmates to use for their next reunion which was held in 1996. Phyllis enjoyed people but had medical problems which limited her participation in class activities and class reunions. Her friendships though were important to her.
In her will, she also set up a Trust to provide educational scholarships for students after High School graduation.
