It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Phyllis Ann Winch, who departed this life on April 23, 2026, at the age of 85. She was born on January 17, 1941, to the late Ralph and Anna (Coffey) Shipp.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her devoted husband Myron (Mike), loving sisters Patricia (Coulson) and Mary (Richey), nephews Michael (Coulson), Joey (Coulson), and Chuck (Richey). 

Phyllis is survived by her devoted daughter, Angela New, who will carry forward her legacy of love, strength, and resilience. She is also survived by her dear niece Shannon (Goebel), and several other nieces and nephews. Her spirit will continue to shine through her family and friends, as they remember the joy and warmth she brought into their lives. 

In accordance with her wishes, Phyllis will be cremated, with a respectful disposition taking place at Washington Park East Cemetery.
