Phyllis Kay Dunlap, 78, of Sod, WV, passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at CAMC Memorial Hospital in Charleston, WV after a brief illness.

She was born on June 13, 1947, to the late Van and Naomi Pauley of Sod, WV.

Phyllis is survived by her husband of 57 years, Linuel R. “Buddy” Dunlap, her beloved son, Cameron Dunlap (Cindy) of Ravenswood, WV, her Grandson, Evan Dunlap also of Ravenswood, WV. She is also survived by her brother, Van Pauley of Sod, WV, and her sister Kathy Buckland of Tornado, WV, nephews and her very dear friend, Kathy Cummings.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her precious Grandson, Ethan Dunlap, of Ravenswood, WV. Ethan was her miracle Grandbaby born severely premature at just 1 lb., 8 oz. and he was her pride and joy, along with his brother Evan. Ethan just recently passed away on February 23, 2026, and without the confines of his wheelchair, we know that he stood straight and ran to her with open arms welcoming her into paradise.

Phyllis was a homemaker and enjoyed spending time with her family and gardening her beautiful flowers every summer.
