Phyllis Ann Kraus Hostetter, 80, died on August 12, 2020, at Commonwealth Senior Living-Williamsburg, following a long illness. She was the daughter of the late Harold G. and Helen A. Kraus of Rockville Centre, NY.

Phyllis graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons as a Physical Therapist, and spent much of her career addressing the needs of pre-school children with developmental challenges, and their parents.
She was a person of many talents: as a parent, teacher, musician, homemaker, needle worker, and baker. She loved people, books, music, dogs, camping, and home renovations.
After moving to Williamsburg in 2006, she and her husband joined the Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists, the Rotary Club of The Historic Triangle, the Williamsburg Parkinson’s Support Group, and became volunteers at Colonial Williamsburg.
