Phyllis Ann Minos

Waynesville – Phyllis Ann Minos, age 56, passed away Monday, January 23, 2023 in the comfort of her home with her loving daughter and son-in-law by her side.

Phyllis was born June 6, 1969 in West Palm Beach, Florida where she was raised until moving to North Carolina to make her home. She attended North Carolina State University until the birth of her son, Jason, when she dedicated her life to being a mother. Phyllis renewed her education through Southwestern Community College and Western Carolina. She was employed as a physical therapist assistant for Skyland Care Center with many years of dedicated and loving service to her patients and her community- she loved working with her patients and her patients loved her in return.

It is easy to think of Phyllis with a smile as she was the most generous lady whose kind, loving heart was always the first to try to help others without expecting anything in return. She had a fun-loving and joyous personality which always brought happiness to those around her. She loved to dress up for Halloween, at home and at work, and she also practiced tai chi and crocheted beautiful blankets. Phyllis will always be remembered as a caring, loving lady who had a heart of gold.

Preceding her in death is her son, Jason Carroll Israel who passed away in 2019.

Surviving are her daughter, Alex Israel (Will Bridge) of Waynesville; mother, Betty Minos of Florida; and many dear and precious friends.

A Celebration of Phyllis’ life will be held at 6:00 pm Friday, January 27, 2023 in the chapel of Crawford / Ray Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Canton. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.
