Phyllis B. Iglar

Phyllis B. (Englehart) Iglar, our beloved mother and friend, passed away peacefully in her home, on Wednesday, May 15, 2019, at the age of 88.

Tootie, as she was known, enjoyed a full life in years past, spending time with family and friends, walking Penn Street during its heyday, baking and reading. She loved pastry, Hershey's Kisses and Coke, playing board games and a clean house, and could always be depended on to care for ailing family members or close friends.

Tootie was pre-deceased by her husband Cyril in 1985, and her siblings: Evelyn, Katherine, Marie, Dorothy, Ruthie, Willie and Dick; along with many of her very best and closest friends, including her beloved feline companions: Stepper and Bindi.

She is survived by her children: Ann Marie, wife of Bill Elmy, Chesterland OH; John Iglar and his wife Cindy, Mohnton; and Kathy Iglar, Kenhorst; along with grandchildren: Katie Elmy Church, Canton, OH; and Lauren Elmy, Anchorage, AK; and great-granddaughter Charlie Church, Canton, OH. Included among her survivors are a number of nieces and nephews.

Tootie spent the early part of her life devoted to raising her children, after which she worked at Country Manor for 10 years doing what she loved, caring for others.

She has waited a long time to rejoin Cyril and to hear his loving call, "Hey Phyl, get me a beer!" Finally together again for eternity.

A Celebration of Tootie's life will be held Wednesday, May 22, 2019, at 11 a.m. at Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, Inc., 739 Penn Avenue, West Reading, followed by burial at Gethsemane Cemetery. A visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. at the funeral home. Please dress comfortably; Tootie would have it no other way.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to Providence Animal Center, 555 Sandy Bank Rd., Media, PA 19063.
