In Loving Memory of Phyllis Starr
September 3rd, 1937 – October 28th, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Phyllis Starr, a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose life was a testament to faith, love, and enduring kindness. She departed on October 28th, 2023, at the age of 86.
Throughout her life, Phyllis was a shining example of the principles of her faith, always extending a hand of kindness to those in need and serving her community selflessly. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she participated in various church activities and was known for her warm and welcoming spirit.
Phyllis was a loving mother to her son, Rick Zilem, a devoted grandmother to her grandchildren, Ricky, Brian & Braden, and doting great-grandmother to Nolan, Elijah, Rozalin & Tatianna. Her family meant the world to her, and she poured her heart and soul into nurturing them with love, wisdom, and an unending sense of devotion. Her grandchildren fondly remember her stories, life lessons, and playing games & doing puzzles with her when they were younger.
Phyllis was a remarkable woman whose love for her family was matched only by her unwavering devotion to her favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys. She held a deep and affectionate bond with her two cherished companions, Hoppie and Gracey, whom she is now strolling with in Heaven. She was also passionate about Zumba and living an active lifestyle.
Phyllis founded PS Property Management Company in 1987, passionately dedicating more than three decades to providing the very best service her organization could offer to Homeowners and Condominium Associations in the Austin area. Phyllis's career has been significant, including her time serving as the first President of the Austin CIA chapter - Community Association Institute.
The memory of Phyllis will forever linger in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a remarkable woman whose kindness, faith, and love left an indelible mark on her family and her community.
A funeral service to celebrate the life of Phyllis will be held on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023 at 2pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 2400 A W Grimes Blvd, Round Rock, TX 78665. All are welcome to attend and pay their respects. Optional viewing from 1:00 – 1:50pm.
To know her was to love her, and to her you were her darling. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Heart Association in Phyllis Starr's name.
May her soul find eternal peace in the loving embrace of her Heavenly Father, and may she be forever cheering on her beloved Dallas Cowboys in her suite from above.
