Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Phyllis Ann Fleener, went to be with her Savior and Lord on September 4th.

She taught in Indiana before moving to Washington in 1959. They made homes on Vashon, in Normandy Park and Grapeview. Each home was full of love, faith, wonderful books, music, fun and laughter in which they raised their family. Phyllis was actively involved in school, church and community life.

family gatherings and time sp ent with her grandchildren, sowing and tending her beautiful gardens and travelling to many corners of the world. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Wendell Fleener, her
