Phoebe, you will continue to be forever in my prayers
Phoebe was a Wonderful Woman- smart as a whip; fun; talented; and kind. I don’t remember ever saying anything bad about anyone and that says a lot!
She will be sorely missed!
PHOEBE WETZEL WHRHS 1971 graduate. This lady guided me and other friends thru HS. Open door. We were welcome to stop by. Us young ladies would corral in that office. Phoebe shared her excitement with me about expanding her family. She wrote in my yearbook that she enjoyed our talks and asked me to visit summer. I did. I remember she made bean dip. I had never had it. Thank you lady.
Sorry to hear Phoebe had passed away. She will be missed. Sending prayers to the family.
