Phyllis Jean (Bohler) Dunn, 91, of Fremont, Indiana passed away Saturday, May 13, 2023 at Fountain Park Assisted Living, under the care of Elara Hospice.
She was born on April 19, 1932 in Waterloo, Indiana to Elmer and Opal (Stayer) Bohler. Phyllis was the second of four children. She graduated from Ashley High School, then married her high school sweetheart, Robert Weirich.
Phyllis was a military wife until they left the service and settled in Montpelier, Ohio. She was a devoted mother of David Lee and Michael Lynn Weirich.
