Phyllis Mary Hartley, age 96, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and service to others.

She was a devoted mother and grandmother, whose life was defined by compassion, strength, and generosity of spirit. She was proceeded in death by two of her children, Jerry and Chris, whom she carried in her heart always.

She has survived by her loving children, Joel and Renee; and her seven grandchildren, Andy, Pam, Alexis, Aspen, Ben, Galen, and Jodie; and her seven great-grandchildren, who brought her immense pride and joy.

An avid lover of the ocean and travel, she found peace near the water and joy in exploring the US. One of our most meaningful parts of her life was her long-standing dedication to alcoholics anonymous, where she gave generously of her time, energy, and support, quietly helping countless others through her service and commitment.

She will be remembered for her strength, her kindness, and the steady presence she was to those who knew and loved her. Her legacy lives on her family and the many lives she has touched.
