Phyllis Schlafly Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 6, 2016.

Schlafly, Phyllis Stewart 92, died peacefully in her home of cancer at 3:15 p.m. on September 5, 2016, surrounded by family members.

Born August 14, 1924 in St. Louis, she observed her birthday on August 15 throughout her life. Phyllis was educated at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, graduated from Washington University in 1944 and earned an M.A. from Harvard University in 1945. Later in life she earned a J.D. in 1978 and received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in 2008, both from Washington University. She was the widow of John Fred Schlafly Jr. (1909-1993), her husband of 44 years and the father of their six children, all born in Alton, Ill. In 1994 she moved to Ladue, where she resided until her death.

Phyllis was nationally known as a writer, speaker, political activist and conservative leader. She was the author or co-author of 27 books including the best-selling A Choice Not an Echo. She wrote and published a monthly newsletter for 50 years and a syndicated weekly newspaper column for 40 years. She delivered a 3-minute radio commentary every weekday for 33 years, was featured on thousands of radio and television programs, and was widely sought as a public speaker. Phyllis was best known for having led the successful campaign to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution.

Phyllis is survived by her six children: John F. Schlafly of Alton, Ill., Dr. Bruce (Jeanne) Schlafly of Des Peres; Dr. Roger Schlafly of Scotts Valley, California; Liza (Joseph) Forshaw of Ladue; Andrew (Catherine) Schlafly of Far Hills, N.J.; and Anne (Tom) Cori of Ladue; as well as 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Bruce Stewart (1878-1955) and Odile Dodge Stewart (1896-1987), and by her sister, Odile Stewart Mecker (1930-2015).

The family would like to thank Phyllis's primary care physician, Dr. J. Collins Corder, and all the other medical specialists who cared for her; the dedicated caregivers of Caring Professionals; the loyal staff at the Eagle Forum offices; and Phyllis's devoted friend Kathleen Sullivan, for their excellent service to Phyllis in her final years.

Services: Visitation will be held 3 to 8 p.m. on Friday, September 9 at Kriegshauser West Mortuary, 9450 Olive, St. Louis, MO 63132.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, September 10 at 2 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, 4431 Lindell, followed by a private burial.

Mrs. Schlafly will remain a role model for me throughout life. I had the opportunity to meet her in Connecticut decades ago, while I was still young, and I do believe I had the privilege of bringing her in my vehicle to or from the conference I attended with her as guest speaker. My mother Judy D. Snow who was born a year ahead of her contemporary icon (d. 3/6/13) introduced me to her work on behalf of women. I have admired her work and her promotion of Eagle Forum. Mrs. Schlafly epitomized all that is best of female intuition, common sense, unfailing labor and unparalled protection of our most vulnerable, families and their children. I hope she has a great reward for her valiant fight.

I am new to Phyllis'struggle; but that doesn't make me stupid. What it does do is make me appreciate more what she stood for and what she accomplished! So I never met her. Never got to appreciate her company. Never was able to enjoy her discourse one on one. Even so, I have been able to read her writings, read what others have written about her, and bottom line? I miss someone I have never had the privilege to meet! It's like saying "I never met George Washington but I miss him"? Really? Well, it might help if you understand that I am retired military ( Submarine Service) and as a consequence, it is easier for me to identify with those who place others ahead of self. I wish I had the privilege to have met her. Phyllis has earned my highest regards and her family has my sincere condolences.

What a clear voice for doing the right thing in life! America needs more strong women like her to know the difference between right and wrong and to have the ability to verbalize it.

Judy Ryder

In the early 1970's, Phyllis Schlafly personally answered the phone the day I called her at home to ask her to help us fight the ERA out here in RI. Although we had never met or spoken previously, she agreed immediately to fly out and testify at RI's first televised legislative hearing, where she did her usual amazing job ticking off the arguments against the ERA, arguments which would never be successfully refuted. She returned another time to debate a feminist at Brown University, and was totally unflappable despite being treated very rudely by students banging on the doors and windows and turning their backs on her. Our family was privileged to host her overnight in our home, where we and our five children were blessed by her presence as she joined us for breakfast around our table. I loved Phyllis -- an unforgettable woman who possessed great faith, courage, perseverance and wisdom. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15

It is never easy to say goodbye to dear ones.
Phyllis was a dear mentor, friend and an amazing lady whom I admired and was proud to know and then be a part of her organization as state leader for Montana Eagle Forum. She never hesitated to call and offer her personal help and wise advise as we "restarted" Montana Eagle Forum in 2002, and as a personal friend who was so kind to my husband and I when we lost our daughters. God didn't make many like Phyllis, what a blessing to have had her in our life. She will be missed. May she rest in the arms of Christ whom she loved deeply.

I worked with Eagle Forum in Mississippi for a number of years, and had the honor of knowing the wonderful Phyllis Schlafly. She had all the qualities to become our first female president of the United States. I am certain that time will continue to validate my opinion.

Her footprint on America will forever be remembered.

She trained her eaglets to run and not grow weary, to walk and not faint. And, so in her honor--for the conservative issues for which she so valiantly and tirelessly fought--we shall carry on.

Kelleigh Nelson

At the age of 16,I was introduced to Phyllis Schlafly by my conservative mother and her friends. For 53 years since then, I have watched her valiant stand for God and our Republic. She fought the good fight, in the arena where there are so many sharks, and every time, she prevailed!

I'm proud to have fought against the con-con with her in the 80s, and proud to have written about her and her stands for righteousness so many times.

We will miss this patriotic woman whose spine of steel forged a great organization. Eagle Forum will now be led by Phyllis's brilliant chosen successor, Ed Martin.

Ed's leadership will guide us to continue Phyllis's standards and the battle for our country.

We mourn the loss of this great lady, but heaven is surely rejoicing.

To her family and friends, we ask the Lord to bless you with wonderful memories of this dear woman, and to give you that peace that passes all human understanding during this time of grief and loss.

We shall see her again! God be praised.

September 10, 2016

To those of us in Colorado, "Phyllis was our John Wayne in a skirt". We first met Phyllis in the late 1970's when she came to Colorado to help us in our battle against the Equal Rights amendment. She was so intelligent and persuasive,our group "The League of Housewives" joined with her Eagle Forum and have followed her leadership ever since. After 40 plus years she never disappointed us.

Phyllis was the most wonderful patriotic lady, one who for 70 years led the members of Eagle Forum to victory in saving our Republic. She deserves the thanks of all Americans.

I know that we all mourn her loss, but heaven is rejoicing that she's come home. The banquet in heaven for this dear woman was surely a magnificent celebration. I know the King of Glory, Jesus, stood up with open arms to welcome her home, and surely said to her, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Bless you Phyllis for all you've done for all of us.

I was fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Schlafly one time in a social setting. She volunteered to have my wrestling to her house for dinner and honors banquet. Her nephew, Dr. Bruce Schlafly, was a part of the team. It was a wonderful day and showed how down to earth and this lady was. Our experience lead me to remember her as a very kind lady who was willing to help others in any way she could.
May this wonderful lady rest in peace.

Many tears have been shed; our lives will never be the same again.
We thank God for her leadership and all she did to educate us and motivate us.
She was born on a very special day - the Feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Mother into heaven. Phyllis was no doubt destined to do great things.
She went to her heavenly home on Labor Day which was fitting as she labored tirelessly for the Lord, for the family, and for the country we all love.
She was courageous to endorse Donald Trump and for so doing she will especially be remembered; many are very grateful to her for this.
Phyllis was an inspiration; when we became discouraged her encouragement kept us fighting for that which is right. She will never be forgotten.
Blessings to all who have truly loved her.

I will forever cherish the thoughtful letter from Phyllis Schlafly she sent to me as a Delegate to the RNC in Cleveland this year, along with the book 'How the Republican Party became Pro Life.' That book is part of the hallmark of her legacy defending 'life' to the fullest, constitutional intent of our founding fathers, and as I like to say the mothers too (i.e. - Abigail Adams). My prayers will continue for Mrs. Schlafly's family and close friends who are carrying the torch of truth and freedom in Eagle Forum. May the wings of the Pro-Life movement soar higher and wider than ever before.

Phyllis lived the American dream. Her life's work, though Eagle Forum and her many publications, was to ensure the continuation of that dream. The dream lives on, in no small part, to this remarkable woman and the power of her pen! She is the loving arms of her Savior, our Lord, Jesus Christ. Thoughts and prayers are with the family, as they celebrate her life and commit her to His eternal care. Karen L. Kiefer (Scottdale, PA.)

We join with millions of Americans in expressing sadness at the loss of Phyllis Schlafly, a national icon.

We had the great pleasure and blessing of being with Phyllis and getting to know her during her annual visits to Naples Florida. We always marveled at her ability to instruct and inform us, in plain language, on the issues of the day - amazing every single guest at the Eagle Forum luncheons with her wit and sharpness that belied her age. These gatherings always included our area's leading conservative students, who will carry forth her message for years to come.

We loved watching Phyllis's beautiful beaming smile as she graced our annual Naples St. Patrick's Day parade.

Phyllis served as a national leader in America's conservative movement for over 50 years. Throughout these years, she selflessly dedicated her life to preserving America and its core values for future generations. Her grassroots leadership gave our country and the free world the Presidency and accomplishments of her dear friend, Ronald Reagan. We are forever in her debt.

Phyllis Schlafly was a personal hero to us. She was the wind beneath our wings. We loved her. We miss her.

I will miss this great friend whom I admired so much..she was very much an inspiration to me many years ago when I became involved in Eagle Forum...I loved her Phyllis Schlafly Report she wrote and used it many times to educate people on the issues...Know the Lord has the gates to heaven open to welcome her...

Mrs. Schlafly was an American patriot - and a good Catholic too. May she rest in peace and her family and friends find comfort and peace. She will live on in the work we all do to keep her vision alive. Her support for Donald Trump means so much to me, it shows how she loved America and Americans - and how smart and courageous she was. Truly unique and a role model for women, a real role model.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet your Mother at the RNC convention in Cleveland. Her life was lived to the fullest and her influence will be seen through many generations. Condolences and prayers for family and friends.

God Bless her precious family. She was a great inspiration to all of us. I hope her new book makes her proud as she looks down from heaven when Trump becomes our next President
