Phyllis Guthrie Obituary

Phyllis Marie Guthrie, age 91, passed away peacefully on July 24, 2025, at Our Lady of Peace in Charlottesville. A long-time resident of Lake Monticello, Phyllis was born on July 6, 1934, in West Virginia to Harry and Lenora Guthrie.

She earned a nursing degree and devoted many years of service to UVA Hospital. A proud veteran, Phyllis also served her country with honor in the United States Navy.

As the last branch of her immediate family tree, Phyllis is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and cherished friends. Her kindness, wit, humor, love, and laughter will be sorely missed but always remembered.
