Obituary: Phyllis K. Boros

Phyllis K. Boros, of Austell, Ga., passed away on Aug. 13, 2025, just shy of her 81st birthday. As a science teacher spanning 31 years, she touched many lives, and in her own words, “She gave a damn!” She had a master’s in science and applied biology from Georgia Tech. Known for being fiercely loyal to family and friends, she had a sharp wit and generous nature that endeared her to others. She was a voracious reader and a die-hard fan of science fiction.

She is survived by Melvin K. Boros (husband), Robert A. Boros (son), Leigh A. Boros (daughter), Sophia Harvey, Ziva Boros (granddaughters), Madison Harvey (great-granddaughter), Theodore Powell (cousin), Lesa Kramer, and Suyra Kramer (nieces). Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. The funeral was held on Aug. 17, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. at the Greenwood Cemetery with Rabbi Laurence Rosenthal officiating. Arrangements by Dressler’s, 770-451-4999.
