Phyllis Ann Watson
Phyllis Ann (Sheldon) Watson, age 74, of Springport passed away in her home under the loving care of her family and hospice on Wednesday July 17, 2024. She was born in Marshall, MI on November 13, 1949, one of 12 children born to Albert and Jessie (Clark) Sheldon. She is the last surviving of that family as her parents and all her siblings have preceded her in death. She is also preceded in death by her infant son, Ted Allen Wireman.
Phyllis was an incredibly fun, loving, selfless, strong woman who always put other’s needs before her own and she was always working, doing something. She cherished her family, especially her kids and grandkids and was an amazing cook; her family treasures memories of the incredible homemade, from scratch dishes she made over the years. She was always ready and willing to feed anyone who came around. Christmas was Phyllis’s favorite holiday. She used it as an opportunity to shower everyone with gifts that mirrored her love and her home was the gathering spot for Christmas Eve with many memories made, especially of her homemade Christmas cookies. Even though she was a collector of things, she kept those things well organized. She loved coloring and throughout her whole life, she adored her weiner dogs, having so many to love throughout the years. Phyllis was also a woman who lovingly spoke her mind and the people around her respected and loved her for it. Trips to Paw Paw to visit her “people” was always a highlight for Phyllis as well. What can you say about a person in a few words who was just so amazing? She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Phyllis leaves to cherish her memory, her husband, Keith whom she was united in marriage to on April 6, 2001 in Toledo, Ohio; her children: Doug (Cassie) Wireman, Scott (Natacia) Wireman, Kristie (Ryan) Hisler; grandchildren: Josh Bowles, Lindsey Wireman, Samantha Wireman, Kelsie Wireman, Dylan Wireman, Austin Wireman, Autumn Wireman, David Becker, Kaydence Becker, Nathan (Aurora) Powers, Nicolas Powers, Jase McNair; great-grandchildren: Lily, Cooper, Oliver, Ella, Max, Adonis, special niece and best friend, Ann Wireman, first husband and father of her children, Robert Wireman and so many extended family and friends.
Phyllis’s family celebrated her life on Friday, July 26, 2024, with visitation from 11 a.m. until the time of her service at 1 p.m. at J. Kevin Tidd Funeral Home, 811 Finley Dr., Albion, MI. She will be laid to rest in Rice Creek Cemetery following.
