She is survived by her children, Ashby Neal Marcey and Randolph Harrison Neal Jr.; grandchildren, Lauren and Owen Marcey and Randy and Tommy Neal; sister, Bonnie Haynie (Jerry); brother, Dr. Emory Lewis Jr. (Janet); and stepsister, Ann Lee Bohannon (Bobby). Born May 11, 1936 in Reedville, Va., Phyllis graduated from Reedville High School and Westhampton College of the University of Richmond, then completed a graduate business program at Harvard University. Phyllis enjoyed being a member of the Country Club of Virginia, St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond and St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Fleeton, Va. Phyllis worked for the Federal Reserve Bank and as an editor for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and served on the board of the Instructive Visiting Nurses Association of Richmond. A gifted pianist, Phyllis taught piano lessons to children and tickled the ivories for parties and wedding receptions when she wasn't playing bridge or Mahjong. In 1992, Phyllis and Randy moved from Richmond to her hometown, renovating Fleeton's historic One-Room Schoolhouse into a family home. Phyllis served on St. Mary's vestry, played the organ for church services, volunteered at St. Mary's Thrift Shop and the Reedville Fishermen's Museum.
