Phyllis Marie Oiler, age 74, of Unionville, TN, passed from this earth peacefully on December 22, 2025, in Nashville, TN.

Phyllis was born on October 1, 1951, in Shelbyville, TN. She was a great mother and wonderful grandmother who dedicated her life to taking care of the ones she loved. Family was everything to her. Phyllis loved spending time with all her loved ones and could sing and make videos with them to all hours of the night.

She is preceded in death by her father, Robert Malcolm Bradford; her mother, Bobbie Hazel Freeman; brother, Jackie Freeman; and her husband of 32 years, Steven Michael Oiler.

Phyllis is survived by her loving sons, Mark (Denise) Todd and Robert (Kristi) Todd; grandchildren, Haley Danielle Todd, Levi Edward Todd, Brooke Todd, Cody Todd, Chelsey Phillips, Sierra Zehring, Shiana Phillips, Kaitlan Flora, Chase Flora, Michael Molder, Ashley Zelenka, Anna Molder, Nicholas McNutt, and Miles McClaran; and twenty great-grandchildren.

Phyllis' legacy of love, kindness, and selflessness will live on through all who were blessed to know and love her.

The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Friday, December 26th at Feldhaus Memorial Chapel. A funeral service will be held in the chapel at 1 p.m. with Mr. Gray officiating. Interment will follow at Willow Mount Cemetery.
