PHYLLIS GALLATIN Obituary
Peacefully, the evening of Tuesday, January 10, 2017, Phyllis passed into the loving arms of our Lord. Born May 14, 1924, in Duquesne, PA where she lived until her marriage to George L. Gallatin, Jr. The couple resided in Pleasant Hills for over 50 years where they raised their two children, Nancy (Ross) Douglas and George (Aileen) Gallatin, III who survive. Additionally, Phyllis was a loving, doting "DanDan" to four grand- children, Eric (Julie) Douglas, Lindsay (James) Burris, Steve (Laura) Gallatin and Drew Gallatin; treasured great- grandmother to Luke, Ben, Tyler, Charlotte and Theo Douglas and Eloise Burris; also survived by nieces, nephews and their families. Preceded in death by her parents, Eric and Hulda Anderson; beloved husband, George; brother and sister in-law, Jack and Jean Anderson; and nephew, Jack Anderson. Phyllis was proud of her Swedish heritage. True to her roots she was a strong willed, caring, stubborn, coffee-loving Swede. That same strength helped her deal with a 50 year struggle with active Rheumatoid Arthritis. Despite flares and multiple treatments, Phyllis kept pushing through everyday of her life. She loved flowers and gardening and in spite of the RA was able to design beautiful arrangements for the Pleasant Hills Garden Club. Phyllis was a long standing, active member of the Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church where she served in the Altar Guild and the Women's Association. The family would like to thank the staff of Friendship Village and the Practices of Margolis Rheumatology and Three Rivers Orthopedics at St. Margarets for their long- standing care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to: Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church, Women's Ministries, 199 Old Clairton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, or to UPMC St. Margaret Foundation The Bed Fund, 815 Freeport Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15215. Friends will be received on Friday from 1-8 p.m. at the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 301 Curry Hollow Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236. A Blessing Service will be held on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the funeral home's chapel. Online condolences may be left at:

unsure if you will get this, but will take a stab. I was just in the process of redoing a what I see as an end table with a magazine rack below table top. Anyway engraved on the bottom is George Gallatin, 8th Grade room 8. I couldn't bring myself to paint until I made sure that it shouldn't have a home elsewhere with it's family. I am sentimental that way. If you do get this I can be reached at [email protected]. So sorry for your loss and may you find peace and comfort in the ongoing love and memories that have been shared.

Our condolences to the family of Annamae Gallatin. Annamae and my mother (Jeane Aton Ambrose) were dear friends for many, many years and truly gave a new meaning to the word friendship. They were sisters by choice!! Annamae was so very gracious and her smile would light up a room. May she rest in peace.

Mrs Gallatin was a gem! I've known her all my life.
She had a beautiful smile that would light up any room she was in. She lived across the street. I have many fond memories. She was a caring, sweet neighbor and dear friend.
I'm thankful for the visit my Mother, sister, Nancy and I had with Mrs Gallatin not to long ago. I feel very blessed to call her my friend. God Bless you Mrs Gallatin

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. We knew "Annamae" through my mother, Jeane Ambrose. They grew up together and were dear friends. It was my pleasure to be able to bring the friends together when Mom visited from California. Each visit was a blessing and extremely enjoyable to listen to them revisit their lives together. May Annamae be at peace as she is reunited with her loved ones waiting for her in heaven.
