Phyllis was one of six children born to the late Emma Sarah Charles Bartlow and the late James David Bartlow in Lycoming County, PA, where she attended school, married, worked and raised her children, moving to Georgia in 1992 to be closer to her girls. An accomplished seamstress, she worked in the textile industry as well as sewed her children’s clothes, curtains, etc. Phyllis loved to cook for her family and was known for her potato soup. Her other interests included working in her flowers, doing word search games, bird watching (especially cardinals--her favorite), and just being outdoors. While in her native hometown, she was a member of the East Lycoming CB Club. A loyal, dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend, she was dependable and could always be counted on when needed. Phyllis loved her family unconditionally and was happiest in their presence—she especially loved playing with her grands and great-grands. Her death has left a void no one can fill but she leaves memories and a legacy no one can steal.
