As of July, 2017, Phyllis Malan became the newest member of MidAmerica Financial Resources. She was born in Salem and graduated from Salem Community High School. She earned a degree from Southern Illinois University in Legal Secretarial and Court Reporting. She is the wife of Greg and they have been married since 1979. They have three children and 13 grandchildren. In her life, she has been a stay-at-home mom, worked with her family at Mulvany Oil Company for 25 years and for the past 7 1/2 years worked as a legal secretary for Black, Ballard, McDonald, P.C., in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.

As a dedicated Christian, the timing seemed right for her to join the family business here at MidAmerican Financial Resources. She feels that this is where God wants her to be and she is very excited to work with her husband and son. Along with being a wife, mother and grandmother, she looks forward to serving the people of Salem and the surrounding area.
