Edith Phyllis Denburg

Edith Phyllis Denburg (Weinstein), 95, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 9th, 2026, in Livingston, New Jersey. Phyllis was born April 7, 1930 to Gertrude and Sam Weinstein in Red Bank, NJ, where she was raised with her brother, Larry Weinstein.

She attended both Alfred University and the University of Miami, and later graduated from the New York School of Interior Design. She married her beschert, Edmund Denburg, in 1954 and had four children whom she cherished: Lisa Harris who passed away in 2019 but is survived by Jill Denburg, Hallie Satz (David), and Jim Denburg (Lisa). She has five fabulous grandchildren: Meridith (Vasilios), Allison (Matt), Spencer (Delaney), Carly (Mike) and Jolie (Zach).

She is also survived by four great grandchildren: Mihael, Sage, Griffin, Andreas and several nieces and a nephew. Phyllis’ life can best be encapsulated by five "F" words: Family, Friends, Flowers, Food and Fashion. In her almost 96 years here with us, she experienced an abundance of each. She was the consummate hostess, preparing elaborate gourmet meals, setting beautiful tables after working as a florist and always entertaining with flair, excelling at creating a gracious home that her children and grandchildren adored.

She was married to Eddie for 64 years until his death in 2018 and together they loved sailing throughout New England, the British Virgin Islands and Florida while dancing to Frank Sinatra. She was an avid bridge and canasta player and enjoyed tennis and golf at Greenbrook Country Club, always clad in fashionable outfits.

Funeral to be held at B’nai Abraham Memorial Park in Union, NJ on Wednesday, January 14th at 11a.m. with shiva to follow.
