Phyllis S. Waltman

On the evening of April 27th, 2024, Phyllis Waltman passed away peacefully due to natural causes at home in Jennersville, PA. Phyllis was 75 years old. 

Phyllis was born to Fred Roark and Esther Eldreth Roark in 1948. Raised in Kemblesville, she graduated from Avon Grove High School in 1966. In May of 1968, she married Larry Waltman and together, they raised their only child Jennifer.

Phyllis worked for Townsend Jeweler’s, Ringler’s News Shop in Oxford, ran her own concessions at Sunset Park, and retired from ACME Markets after more than 25 years of service. With her friendly smile, keen business sense, and strong work ethic she was beloved by customers, colleagues, and employers alike. 

Outside of work, Phyllis loved to travel to area beaches or a rustic cabin just outside of Penn State University. Her love of animals was unrivaled and she never met an animal that she didn’t want to take home with her. 

As a wife and mother, her kind-hearted nature and sense of humor filled the Waltman home with love and laughs for 56 years. That warmth and joy undeniably touched the hearts of other people around her. 

Phyllis is preceded in death by her father Fred, her mother Esther, and her brother Vance. She is survived by her husband Larry, her daughter Jennifer, and her nieces Brenda and Penny. Her ashes will be interred at the family cemetery.
