Phyllis Flint Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She made quiet good in the world, through her cooking, her handiwork, her volunteerism, and her civic duty. And she made raucous joy, as well, playing cards and dominoes, hosting family events, and arguing with her siblings about where the ice box stood in her childhood home.
Phyllis is survived by her daughter, Jodie Flint and Jodie's partner, Jane Saunders; her daughter-by-choice, Debbie Ponce; and numerous nieces and nephews. Her son, Mark Roberson, preceded her in death.
Phyllis lived a wonderful, long life full of purpose. She loved her family fiercely and lived her Christian tenets daily. We will miss her, and we are relieved that she found her way home.
We would like to thank the staff at Elan Westpointe Assisted Living for the care, kindness, and safety they provided her these past few years. And we are indebted to the wonderful professionals at Bridgeway Hospice for helping us all during her transition.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her honor to United Methodist Women. Make checks payable to UMW with a note, "Memorial for Phyllis Flint" on the memo line. Donations can be mailed to:

Phyllis was like a mom to me. She and Jim provided Bob and me so much love and support. They were adopted grandparents to our daughter. She was an amazing lady. She worked full time, was a great mother to her children, was very active with her church, Eastern Star, sewed beautiful clothes, kept a garden, painted, was a vociferous reader, AND a wonderful cook.
She loved her children, Jodie and Mark. She was so very proud of them.
Jesus said to love God with all our hearts and spirit and to love our neighbors as ourself. She truly followed that path.
She and Jim would just call us and tell us we needed to go out to dinner and they would care for Jeanna. After we moved to Austin and Jeanna got older they would have her come for a week. Phyllis taught her how to sew. Our daughter considered Phyllis and Jim her "real grandparents".
Phyllis had so much love to give. Her love was unconditional. When I had surgery, she came and stayed to help me in my recovery.
She and Jim came to Georgia to visit and help out. It was a new state and city for us. They introduced us to several friends they knew in the area.
When my mother died, they went with me and comforted me during that time.
She truly was a friend, a confidante and a mother figure to me. I was truly blessed by this human angel.
