Obituary of Phyllis Brucker Smeltzer

Webster:  Wednesday, October 23, 2024, age 77.  She leaves behind her husband and caregiver, Charles Smeltzer;  her daughter, Heather Stokes (Jeremy) and their children, Joe and Evie;  her husband’s daughter, Jenni Wetzler (Jim Hancock);  her son, Jacob Brown (Vicki) and their sons, Luciano and Domonic;  her husband’s son, Matt Smeltzer (Jolene) and their children, Rayna, Judah, Ziek and Lenora;  sister, Carol Scholz (Ken) and their children, Arthur Scholz (Kate, and their children, Donald, Gordon and baby on the way, Karl Scholz and Eleanor OLeary (Paddy);  brother, Charlie Brucker (Rene) and their children, Carl Brucker (Angelica) and Margaret Arata (Mike);  sister, Cathy Staehli (Joel Reed) and her daughter, Anna Wiser (Chris) and their sons, Jaxon and Theo;  foster brother, Herman Rolle.

Phyllis liked to stay active.  She was a 4-H leader, Sunday School teacher, Head of Trustees at Webster Presbyterian Church, Union Secretary and then President of Webster Transportation.  She enjoyed Civil War reenacting with her husband.  The most recent source of enjoyment was square dancing.

Her most important focus was her family.  Joe and Evie living right next door was so very wonderful.  She was also able to be a caregiver for her mother, which was a very rewarding experience.  Mother passed in 2023 and Daddy in 2006.

Please join family and friends for a Graveside Service 2:00 PM Saturday, November 16 at Webster Rural Cemetery. 3:00PM Reception to follow at Webster Presbyterian Church. Willard H. Scott Funeral Home.
