It is with deep love and profound grief that we announce the passing of our aunt, Phyllis R Cherlin, beloved wife of the late Robert R Cherlin for 66 incredible years. Theirs was a love that defied the passage of time, “if ever two were one, then surely we”…They set an extraordinary example of love, devotion and respect for each other. She will be remembered for her great caring and kindness to all who were fortunate to know her . Phyllis worked for 40 years at Exxon Mobil Corporate. Together they were 6o year members of Beth Israel Synagogue. Phyllis and Bob loved to travel and spend special times with their extended family. She was predeceased by her sister Mickey Tucker, her sisters and brothers in law, Al and Bea Cherlin, Estelle and Dan Cherlin, Betty and George Cherlin, and Martin Cherlin.
