Phyllis R. LeekPhyllis R. Leek, age 83, of Warsaw, passed away quietly on Thursday, July 22, 2021, just after 4 p.m. in Warsaw at Kosciusko Community Hospital.
The daughter of Frederick Lewis and Virginia Eastham Brown, Phyllis was born on Aug. 4, 1937, in Bloomington. She spent her formative years in the Pierceton area and graduated from Pierceton High School.
Phyllis was a spunky, fun-loving person. She enjoyed camping when she was younger and loved time spent with her children and grandchildren. She was a longtime member of American Legion Auxiliary Post 258 in Pierceton and worked there for several years, though most of her professional life was spent as a secretary for various agencies. She also enjoyed collecting glass shoes and other trinkets and playing cards with friends – especially euchre.
Those who survive with memories to cherish include her daughter, Melody (Steve) Fisher, of Orland; three sons: Jack Bullers, of Warsaw; Jeff (Trudy) Leek, of Chapman Lake; and Mark Begleym of Tippecanoe; eight grandchildren: Jaden, Taylor, Makenna, Makylie, Malaina, Maranda, Craig and Chris; several great-grandchildren; and a brother, Kent Lewis, of Phoenix, Ariz.
She was preceded in passing by brothers: Melvin Lewis and Estel Lewis; son, Robert Smith; and grandson, Zeth.
Phyllis’ family is grieving privately though a celebration of life is in the planning stages for later.
Warsaw’s Titus Funeral Home is entrusted with her care.
