Phyllis was born on August 25, 1937, in Staten Island, New York to Eugene Mahler and Phyllis Gregory. Phyllis and her late husband Carl A. Nelke were blessed in love and had five children. She was a homemaker throughout their life together. Our mother enjoyed gardening flowers, plants and vegetables, which she had a real talent for.
Her hobbies included cooking, crocheting and knitting. One of her main focus in life was to keep her family together and safe. Our family will miss her conversations, cheerful spirit, her beautiful smile and twinkling blue eyes.
Survivors include three sons, Richard Nelke (Anna), Arthur Nelke (Cherrie) Keith Nelke and two daughters, Phyllis Sesma (Mario) Carla Roberts, (John) two grandsons, Michael Roberts and Adam Roberts. She had two great grandchildren, James and Kaylee Roberts. She is also survived by her sister, Elizabeth Labrada.
She will be laid to rest next to her husband at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, on April 27th at 9:00 am. Our family thanked the Lord for our mother. She will be missed and shall always remain in our hearts forever.
