She was born in Avon, New York on April, 1 1927, a daughter of the late Jesse and May (Olyer) Story.

The family wishes to thank an incredible group of Care Givers: Vicky, Carol M., Carol O., Rosemary, Carolyn, Linda, Connie, Theresa, Mary, and Esther as well as her hospice nurse, Elaine, and many other members of the Hospice team were also essential to her care. The family also wishes to thank the owner and employees of Dee’s restaurant, who were so kind to Phoebe as her illness progressed.

They also wish to thank the staff of the Ramada Limited in Strasburg who helped Phoebe by helping her daughter. They were supportive and caring and truly provided a home away from home.

In addition to her husband and parents, Phoebe was predeceased by her brothers and sisters, Sally Finger, George Story, Eleanor Baker, and Karl Story.
