Phyllis Jean Curry Yohey, 83, died early Sunday morning at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, TN. She was born in Muncie, IN, and was a graduate of Central High School. During World War II, she attended the University of Louisville for a year before receiving her license in library science, granted early due to wartime needs. During the war, she served on the Army base at Ft. Knox as librarian.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul R. Yohey, whom she married after the war and with whom she worked side by side building the business of Muncie Mobile Home Sales and Freedom Acres Mobile Home Park. From 1978 until 2003, they pursued the new adventures of palm trees, boating, and designing two new homes together on the southwest coast of Florida. For the past five years, Phyllis lived in Nashville, TN, where she lived the last season of her life. She made friends everywhere she went.
The hallmarks of her being were finding the fun of life; valuing those around her; caring deeply, and choosing others over self. Her light will be missed every day with an anxious anticipation of the reunion awaiting in the life to come.
She is survived by a son Kenton D. Yohey (wife-Andrea) of Greenwood, IN; a daughter, Paula Flautt (husband-Joe) of Brentwood, TN; three grandkids, Luke Yohey, Curry Flautt Winters (husband-Michael) and Anna Elizabeth Flautt; and a brother, Byrl Curry (wife-Mary) of Ocala, FL.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at The Meeks Mortuary and Crematory, Washington Street Chapel, with Pastor Wayne Murray officiating. Entombment will follow in Elm Ridge Mausoleum. Friends may call at the mortuary from 5 until 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Memorial contributions may be made to Christ Presbyterian Fine Arts Foundation, 2323A Old Hickory Blvd., Nashville, TN 37215.
