Phyllis Irene Morgan Rupert, 76, passed away in Camp Hill, PA on October 22, 2022, with her husband, Charles David Rupert, lovingly at her side.

Phyllis was born and raised in Lancaster County, PA. She was the daughter of the late Arthur B. Morgan and the late Verna H. Morgan. She was also preceded in death by her brother, H. Dennis Morgan, March 2, 2006; her mother-in-law, Josephine K. Yearick May 15, 2016 and granddaughter, Olivia B. Gerardino December 23, 2009.

She resided in Intercourse most of her adult life until retiring in Howard, PA two years ago. Phyllis graduated from Lancaster Country Day School and Muskingum University. She assisted teaching at Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA whilst attending grad school there.

She went home to Intercourse, PA where she ran a family business “Something Special”, a jewelry store, for more than a decade. She then worked at John Wright Company in Wrightsville, PA as Product Development Manager. Phyllis served as Alumni Representative as a member of the Lancaster Day School Board of Trustees. She served as a member of the Central PA Humane Society Board of Directors. Phyllis was also the chairman of the Membership Committee for the Unitarian Universalists Church in Lancaster.

At heart, Phyllis humbly approached life with gratitude and the intention to leave a positive footprint. She never allowed an opportunity to go by for making a friend, even if, a random stranger. She was someone who sincerely went out of her way to be kind to people; as she had a keen eye for bringing light to their strengths, she made them feel special. She had a wonderful sense of humor, never afraid to laugh at herself. She was an avid collector of oddities and antiquities.

Phyllis is survived by her husband, Charles David Rupert; her Stepdaughter, Amy Gerardino Bogle (Sean Bogle); her Grandchildren; Harrison Rhoads, Anna Beatrice Rhoads, Ethan Rhoads and Carson Bogle; her nephew, Cameron W. Morgan, and two nieces, D’Anne Morgan Nelson and Shelby Morgan.
