She was born May 9, 1934, in Elizabethtown, Pa., to Maris Gainer and Ora Stauffer Gainer. She was married on Dec. 28, 1952, to Glenn H. Stauffer. They shared 56 years of marriage together before he passed away Nov. 6, 2009.
Phyllis was a resident of Kosciusko County for the past 52 years, coming from Pennsylvania. She was a longtime member of Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church, where for many years she had the joy of baby sitting for M.O.P.S. and attended the Woman of Grace.
Phyllis was a food service worker throughout her life. She worked in the kitchen at Grace College in Winona Lake, Grace Village Retirement Community and even Kosciusko Community Hospital in Warsaw. She retired in 1999, and the highlight of her retirement was to be able to travel the world with her husband, Glenn. They were able to go on many mission trips to Germany, Argentina and France.
She will be dearly missed by her family, her church family and countless friends.
She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Kathy S. Stauffer, West Peoria, Ill.; four sons: Gerald L. (wife Mary) Stauffer, Orion, Mich.; Steven G. (wife Sandra) Stauffer, Warsaw; Douglas B. (wife Donna) Stauffer, Ithaca, N.Y.; and Michael S. (wife Marlissa) Stauffer, Hilliard, Ohio; seven grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Glenn H. Stauffer; granddaughter, Rachael Stauffer; and her brother, Wilbur Stauffer.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon Monday, Dec. 11, at Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church, 1200 Kings Highway, Winona Lake. Her funeral service will follow viewing at noon at the church, officiated by Pastor Bruce Barlow.
A private family graveside service will take place at Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw.
Arrangements were entrusted to Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, Warsaw.
