Newkirk; and her siblings, Bill, Ronnie, Bud, Gary, Richard, George, Wilma, Ruth Ann, Gracie, and Brenda.
Phyllis was a proud homemaker who loved spending time with her family. Her greatest joys in life were raising her children, spending time with her grandchildren, and eventually great-grandchildren! In her free time, she also enjoyed a good game of bingo and playing the lottery.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to National Church Residences Hospice for all of their love and care throughout her illness.
A funeral service will be held at 5:00pm on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at the Haller Funeral Home, with Pastor Aaron Hines officiating. Friends may join the family for visitation from 3:00pm until the time of the service.
