Phyllis Gwyn Miles, age 79 of West Helena, passed away on Thursday, July 19, 2018. Phyllis was born January 31, 1939 in Tupelo Mississippi, a daughter of the late Mable and Theodore McClure. As a result of her mother's passing, Phyllis and her siblings were fortunate to have been accepted into Palmer Home for Children in Columbus Mississippi.

She was united in marriage to Charles Andrew Miles on May 6, 1961. Phyllis taught kindergarten at the First Presbyterian Church and was the manager of the pro shop for the West Helena golf course at the time of her death. Her greatest joy was her family and her favorite past times were playing scrabble and card games with her amazing friends. She is survived by her son Charles Andrew Miles Jr, granddaughters Jennifer Stover and Michelle Miles, great grandchildren Annison and Tanner Hardwick, her lovely sister Ann Ramsey, and a host of other relatives and friends. Special thanks to her very dear friend Betty Powell; Dale Chisnall, Walter Simpson and members of the West Helena Golf Course, all of whom helped make the last years of her life possible and more enjoyable.
