Phyllis Breuer passed away peacefully on August 16, 2022 at age 93. Formerly from Oak Park, West Bloomfield, and Commerce Township, Phyllis last resided at Fox Run in Novi.

Phyllis was born in Brooklyn, NY on February 17, 1929 and moved with her family to Detroit in 1943. She graduated from Detroit Central High School and Wayne State University with a degree in Social Work. When she married Richard Herman Breuer in 1950 she became a dedicated wife and mother. They had a loving 70 year marriage and, in later years, Phyllis worked as a teacher’s aide and also sold menswear. After retirement she volunteered at Henry Ford Hospital West Bloomfield, The West Bloomfield Library and Channel 56 Public Television for over 25 years.

Phyllis is survived by her two children, devoted son Gerald Breuer (Diane Cupps) and loving daughter, Nancy (Charles) Orenstein; two grandchildren, Elizabeth (Corey) Cohen and Stephanie Orenstein; and two great grandchildren, Abigail and Miles Cohen. She is also survived by special friend “almost-a daughter”, Marcia Garland. She was pre-deceased by her parents, her brother Walter Herbach and her husband of seventy years, Richard. The family would also like to thank Phyllis’s BrightStar caregivers.
