Phyllis Ditto, at 98 years old passed away peacefully on September 18, 2024, with her family by her side at Maplewood Assisted Living in Chardon, Ohio. Phyllis was born June 29, 1926, to her mother Alma G. Barstow (nee Tucker) and father Lewis E. Barstow. She is predeceased by her brother Glenn Barstow and her husband, Roy Ditto.

She had a big heart and was always generous and giving. She also loved coloring, cooking, shopping, and she enjoyed Roy taking her dancing on Friday nights at the Painesville dance hall and playing cards with friends on Saturdays and taking time to spend with her children Peggy Havlicek, Nancy Aloi and Dale Ditto.

Phyllis was married to Roy Ditto for 77 years and they spent all their lives living in Chesterland in the home Roy built for her.
