Phyllis Jean (Uhl) Ahart (85) passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 20th surrounded by the love of her family. Phyllis is survived by her beloved husband of over 66 years, Vincent Arthur; her children Annette Ahart, Curtis Ahart (Luann), John Ahart (Teri), Diane Beattie (Bill), Susan Landa (Rich), Patty Nelson (Tom), and Michael Ahart (Sue); grandchildren Steven, Patrick, Alicia, Matthew, Anna, Meagan, Madeline, Claire, Jessica, John, Kylie, Katie, Matt, Emma, Jack; and 5 great-grandchildren; and her brother Gary Uhl. She was born on December 21, 1937 in Mapleton, IA. She grew up in a farming family with 11 siblings and her pony Bunny Boy. She was lovingly called 'Pidge' by the Uhl family. She was preceded in death by her parents; Jesse Uhl and Eleanor (Schleis) Uhl and 10 of her siblings. Her family treasures their memories with her, especially vacationing at the cabin, cheering them on at sporting events and concerts, enjoying family holidays, sharing a hot breakfast every morning, playing cards and Farkle, and crafting. She embodied the meaning of family and love. Above all she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. Her example of how to love is the legacy her family will hold in their hearts forever. She was an active member of Epiphany Catholic Church and her community. At Epiphany she organized church cookbooks, worked at funeral luncheons, taught Sunday school, volunteered at the Epiphany Diner and the church cleaning committee, and other ministries. She volunteered at many schools, athletic associations, and Cub Scouts. As a neighbor, she was always there to listen, lend a hand or drop off a meal. Along with her husband, she was a longtime member of the YMCA and an energetic Timberwolves fan. Her family would like to thank all of the staff at the Epiphany Memory Care, Allina Hospice, and Bluestone Physician Services for their wonderful support and care of Phyllis and her family. A special thank you to her caring neighbors Shar-Ann and Jeff Brozek. Funeral mass at 10:30 am Friday, January 5 at The Church of the Epiphany 11001 Hanson Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN.
