Phyllis (de la Chappelle) Whisenand

Phyllis (de la Chappelle) Whisenand, 80, was called home to her Father, on Sunday, March 15, 2020, at her home.  She was the wife of Thomas G. Whisenand, her husband of 21 years.

A child of God, Phyllis was born February 14, in Scranton, PA during the blizzard of 1940.
