Phyllis C. Shek

Phyllis Shek was born and raised on a farm in Jetersville, Virginia. In the summer of 1938, she was voted Miss Amelia County in a beauty contest.

Those who knew and loved her, would agree that she was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Phyllis met the love of her life at a USO event in Washington, DC.

She married Master Staff Sergeant Herbert E. Shek during World War II. After the war, Phyllis and her husband, Herb, resided in Towson, Maryland with their three sons.

Phyllis and her husband moved to Ocean City, Maryland, in retirement, where they enjoyed the remainder of their sixty-one years together.

Phyllis was a kind-hearted, caring and loving person. She was a woman of extraordinary faith. While residing in Ocean City, Maryland, she was named Episcopal Woman of the Year by St. Paul's by-the-Sea.

Phyllis will be greatly missed by her family and friends, who take comfort in knowing that she is now in the loving hands of God and finally reunited with her husband.
