Our heavenly father has called a precious lamb back to the fold. Phyllis Lee Marker Gundling passed away on Sept. 20, 2003 in her 80th year. Phyllis was a kind soul who delighted in giving service to others. She was a parishioner of St. Michael Catholic Church in Wheeling.
Phyllis was born on Dec. 5, 1922 in Aetnaville, Ohio, the baby daughter of the late David and Gertrude Jenkins Marker. She was predeceased by her husband, Valentine G. Gundling, Jr., her son William George Gundling, and her siblings Thomas Marker, Russell Marker, Gertrude Heil, Carrie McCormick, Ada Marker, Grace O'Neill, and Gladys Mae Hicks.

She had eight grandchildren, Katie Wilson, Carrie Wilson, Christie Sara Gundling, Ryan Gundling, Colin Gundling, Collins Gundling, Zade Gundling and Gabrielle Gundling, and numerous nieces and nephews. Phyllis was a loving, caring and devoted wife, mother and grandmother whose selfless spirit was a guide and inspiration to everyone that she touched during her treasured life. Phyllis owned and operated Hills and Dales Nursery School located at Vance Memorial Church for 24 years and during which time, through genuine love and kindness, nurtured hundreds of young children in the community. Many of her students, who became leaders in the field, would share their successes with her and swell with found memories when they would hear her name. Phyllis loved her bridge club and her times volunteering at Wheeling Hospital and Oglebay Park. Phyllis' life was not an example of a life cut too short, but an example of God blessing his children on this earth with every last ounce of love and joy that he could use through Phyllis; to her last breath. She could truthfully say that "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." II Timothy 4:7.
