Kathryn “Kathy” F. Phelan, of O’Fallon, Missouri, passed away Thursday, February 14, 2019 at the age of 85. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri on February 14, 1934.
Loving wife of the late William “Bill” Phelan, Sr.; beloved daughter of the late Loren and Pearl Shanks; devoted mother of Debbie (Glenn) Meyer, Vickie (Skip) McGuire, the late William “Bill” Phelan, Jr., and late infant son; cherished grandmother of Trey McGuire, III and Emma McGuire; and dear sister of Peggy (Rip) Grasser.
Kathy loved her family and beloved puppies dearly and dedicated her life to being the most loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Kathy had a gracious heart and was always there to help anyone in need. She had a soft spot for the underdog and believed that everyone deserved a second chance. In her free time, she could be found reading, tending to her plants and flowers, or putting her incredible sewing talents to use. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
