Phyllis Patterson

February 9, 1944 — May 22, 2021

Phyllis Irene (Shank) Patterson, 77, of Chambersburg departed this life at home in her own bed on Saturday, May 22nd 2021 around 7:30am. Phyllis was born on February 9th, 1944 in Warfordsburg, PA (Buck Valley) to Boyd & Marie Shank.

Phyllis enjoyed riding bikes with her husband, Ray, yard sales and she walked and jogged around 700 miles a year stopping here and there to talk with neighborhood friends on her travels for more than 20 years. Phyllis fiercely fought her battle with pancreatic cancer for almost two years. Anytime someone asked how they were, Ray would always say pretty good, she’s pretty and I’m good. That always made Phyllis smile. They would have celebrated their 58th anniversary on June 30, 2021.

She is survived by her husband Raymond. Three children Cindy Diane (Larry Edward) Tosten, Jr. of Chambersburg, Jamie Ray (companion Millie) Patterson of Fayetteville, and Kevin Ray Patterson of Chambersburg.
