Phyllis Edelman

Phyllis Edelman, 88 years old, of Warminster, PA, passed away on February 18, 2023.

Phyllis was born in Philadelphia, PA on June 5, 1934. She is pre-deceased by her loving husband, Bernard Edelman, her parents, Claire and Jack Snyder, and her niece, Lori Erfer. She is survived by her daughters Alissa (and Irwin) Latner, Gwynne (and Alan) Feinstein, and her loving grandchildren, Benjamin (and Arpita), Max, and Carly Latner, and Breanna and Morgan Feinstein, her sister, Carolyn Fuhrman, and niece, Janet Levine.

In addition to being a loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and grandmother, Phyllis had many interests over her lifetime. She was a bookkeeper for Milstein Flooring, in Philadelphia PA, for several years before getting married. While raising her children Phyllis became deeply interested in several artistic endeavors, from making beaded flowers to drying flowers from her garden, making paperweights with resin, decoupaging furniture, mirrors, etc., making 3-dimensional frames with old-time photos, to making a full miniature general store, 3 stories high, fully electrified. She sold many of her beautiful and original crafts at local art fairs, and her biggest sale was to Macy's for her dried flower pictures.

Phyllis also volunteered at Community General Osteopathic Hospital in Harrisburg, PA, as a Transportation Aide in the Nursing Division, providing vital services to the hospital, and was recognized for over 150 hours of service in March of 1987.

At Phyllis' request, there will be no memorial service or funeral. However, the family will receive visits for shiva on Tuesday, February 21 at the home of Gwynne and Alan Feinstein, 39 Brandywine Court, Richboro, Pennsylvania, from 3 pm until 8 pm. Another shiva will be held on Thursday, February 23 at the home of Alissa and Irwin Latner, 32 Hawthorne Terrace, Closter, New Jersey, from 3 pm until 8 pm. A 7:00 pm shiva minyan service will be held at the Latner home.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to any charity of your choice.

Phyllis was a one-of-a-kind personality, often making others laugh with her silliness, unusual wit, and unique sense of humor. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
