Phyllis J. Hartman, age 89, died peacefully in her sleep at her daughter's home in Illinois. She was born in Syracuse, New York to Dorothy (Snyder) Bensley and Leland B. Bensley October 25, 1926. She graduated from DeVilbiss High School in 1944. Jeanne, as everyone called her, had a lot of energy. She loved being on the go. After her husband died, at an early age, Jeanne began her work career. She first became a legal secretary. Next, she worked for Toledo Scale until they moved out of town. Her next and final job was working for The Department of Human Services of Lucas County as an account clerk supervisor.
Jeanne was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church where she served many years as church treasurer, Sunday school secretary, and was a member of the Trustees and Administrative Council at the church.
Some of the other volunteer jobs she enjoyed were being on the retirement committee for Toledo Scale, contacting DeVilbiss alumni for reunions, being part of the Sylvania Business and Professional Women's Group, Flower Hospital Auxiliary, and the American Legion Auxiliary at Conn-Weissenberger Post.
Jeanne also greatly enjoyed the red hat luncheons and walking and talking with her friends at the mall in her later years.
Jeanne is preceded in death by her husband, Richard; her companion, Walter Baldwin; her sister, Eleanor McGill and her parents. She is survived by her daughter, Jerilyn Rhodes (David); son, Richard Hartman (Dawn); six grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
