Obituary: Phyllis Ann Linder Glass

Phyllis Ann Linder Glass passed away on Nov. 6, 2025. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 12, 1944, she had made her home in Atlanta for nearly 50 years where she built a large and supportive community filled with many friends who will always remember her kind spirit and dynamic personality.

She was survived by her two children, Jessica and Darren, her son-in-law, Rogerio, her grandson, Elliott, and her dog, Lucy. She had lost her husband, Gary, in 2024 after 58 years of marriage. Gary and Phyllis loved to explore the world together, whether it was trips to many different countries or films at the Jewish Film Festival where she spent many hours each year.

An alumna of The Ohio State University and Case Western University, Phyllis worked primarily as a therapist in private practice, but over the years worked with many different groups, including Karuna, Smith College, Emory University, and the Georgia Society for Clinical Social Work. She also loved spending time at craft shows where she enjoyed getting to know the artists and collecting jewelry.

There was a memorial service celebrating her life on Dec. 30, at 2:30 p.m., at Dressler’s Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, money can be donated to Planned Parenthood, one of the many causes that she cared deeply about. Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care.
