Phyllis Abrams

September 15, 1936 - February 14, 2022

Phyllis Abrams was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world with the love of her family surrounding her on Feb. 14th, 2022 at age 85. She was born to Harry and Eleanor Fillius Sr. on September 15, 1936. After graduating from high school, Phyllis married the love of her life Harvey F. Abrams who preceded her in death. They had three children, Doug Abrams (Karen), Karen Jenkins (John), and Linda Raymond (Mike). She raised her children, while working as a Catholic school teacher and going to college, where she received her teaching degree. After receiving her degree she became a much loved and dedicated teacher for the Tabernacle School system, from which she later retired. She was a proud teacher, who loved and was loved by her students; whose lives she left an indelible mark. During her summer break she could be found lying by her pool getting tan, and helping with the produce stand. Whenever they could get away, her and Harvey would spend time at their upstate Pa. property, or their Tuckerton house. She loved entertaining her siblings and taking them to the shore; where they would visit The Old Barney Lighthouse, that she so admired, and of course the thrift stores. She was very dedicated to her husband and family and raised her children to be family oriented, strong, and independent. She was a loving “Granny” to Scott, Jen, Michele, Jessie, Newman and Danley, and Great Granny to Richie, Dayla, Kaela, Freddy, Wyatt, and Deklin, and then Great, Great Grandma to Cordell and Paris. Phyllis was a faithful child of God who loved her Gospel music, her Victorian house and always dressed “To the Nines”. She wouldn’t dare be seen without her hair up, lipstick on and broaches adorning her blouse. She was definitely “Old School”.
