MEHOOPANY TWP. — Phyllis Adams, 82, of Mehoopany, passed away Tuesday, May 30, 2023, at The Gardens, Tunkhannock. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Eugene Adams, Sr.
Born in Wilkes-Barre on Sept. 3, 1940, she is the daughter of the late Godfred and Elizabeth May Perschau.
Graduating from G.A.R., class of 1958, she learned the values of hard work and dedication. These traits carried over into her career as secretary/treasurer for both Mehoopany Township and Meshoppen Borough. She proudly served the people of these communities for over 50 years respectively.
Outside of work, Phyllis enjoyed square dancing and shopping on QVC during her free time. However, her true passion lay in giving back to her community. She was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Forkston Grange, LaTiO's Red Hat Ladies, and Mehoopany Women's Club among others. Moreover, her involvement was significant as a member of F.W.M. Athletic Association.
Phyllis lived a fulfilling life full of proud accomplishments. Throughout her years of service and devotion to the community she cared deeply for its residents. Such love that she possessed will forever be remembered by all that knew her.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughters: Elizabeth Stackhouse and husband Bob; Christine Swilley and husband Bill; Gretchen Adams-Morse and husband Brad; son, Eugene Adams, Jr. and wife Heather; grandchildren: Christopher Swilley, Allysa Swilley, Benjamin Swilley, Zachary Swilley, Kyle Stackhouse, Kyle Keithline-Shaffer, Mara Adams, Paige Adams, Wesley Adams; and six great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her sisters: Elizabeth and Priscilla Perschau; an infant brother; and a grandson, Andrew D. Adams.

I will always remember Phyllis and the extended family road trips we would take when I was a kid, as well as during family gatherings during the holidays. Phyllis was an independent thinker, had a great sense of humor and was quick with a smile, and lots of fun to be around. Most important, she was a genuinely good person. We will miss her.

Phyllis was one of my favorite relatives. She always had a ready smile and a wonderful laugh. I looked forward to her chatty Christmas/Easter cards. She will be missed.
