Phyllis E. Moran, 87, of Frazeysburg died early Monday morning, November 4, 2024, at The Oaks at Bethesda in Zanesville, Ohio.

Born July 20, 1937 in Newark, Ohio, she was a daughter of the late Raymond L. & Eura C. (Davis) Kirkpatrick and a 1955 graduate of Frazeysburg High School.  She was a member of Mt. Pleasant Christian Church, a member of the Fallsburg Homemakers Club and a breast cancer survivor.  Phyllis enjoyed spending time in her gardens, crocheting, playing rummy, and cheering for The Ohio State Buckeyes.  In her younger days, she enjoyed going to the races but more recently she enjoyed picking winners of NFL games and she was right most of the time. Phyllis was a loving and dedicated homemaker for her family.  She was an excellent cook and baker.  Phyllis loved to host family gatherings, especially Christmas because she enjoyed being the Christmas bingo caller.  She loved spending time with her family and made each member feel special and welcome.
