Phyllis M Shaffer's Obituary
Phyllis M Shaffer (nee Katz), 94, passed away July 12, 2023. She was married to the late Sheldon G. Shaffer and was the daughter of the late Jacob and Jean Katz.
Phyllis is survived by sons Steve (Becky) and Dan (Kim), grandchildren Sara and Eric (Alyona), brother Melvyn (the late Eugenia), niece Julie (Jeff) Goldman, nephew Paul (Nima), and grandnieces, a grandnephew, and cousins.
Born and raised in Cleveland and a proud Glenville Tarblooder, Phyllis then lived in her beloved home in South Euclid for 64 years. She was an executive secretary at Cleveland Transit, and was involved in the early 1950s planning of the Rapid Transit System. She enjoyed going to Cleveland Browns and Cavaliers games and the Front Row Theater, and traveling with Shelly. Phyllis was active in Steve's and Dan's PTA, and their sports carpools. She drove until she was 90, perhaps not the best idea.
Graveside Service and Interment at Bet Olam/Park Synagogue Cemetery, 25796 Chagrin Blvd., Beachwood on Sunday, July 16, at Noon.
