Phyllis Marie Broms

Phyllis Marie "Boomie" Broms was born March 4, 1934, to Calvin "Bob" and Valrea Albaugh in Tionesta, Pa. She passed away peacefully on June 26, 2023, at the age of 89, surrounded by two generations of loved ones. Boomie is survived by four children: Ronald Simons (Myra), Donna Burris (Dan), Fred Broms, and Ed Broms, as well as 11 grandchildren and 31 spunky great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her brothers Donald and Daniel Albaugh, her oldest son, Bob Simons (Vickie), and her first love, husband, and father of her children, Aloysius “Wishie" Simons. Phyllis is also preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Willard "Will" Broms. The story of "Phyl and Will" began when they met, fell in love, married, and moved to Leonardtown, Md., in 1972. Phyllis was a nurse for Dr. John T Burke in Stoneboro, Pa., in which she began her career as the local caregiver. Once she moved to Maryland, Phyllis no longer provided nursing care, however, she was given her official title of "Boomie" by her first grandchild. She quickly became everyone's "Grandma Boomie" and continued her life of caring for others. Once you met Boomie, she was forever a part of your heart; always checking in and asking you to "send my love" to those she knew and cared for. Her life's work is demonstrative as she watched over Will to ensure his safe passing to Heaven, where they will share in the peace of eternal life with the ones they love. The family is holding a small service on July 1st at 10:00 a.m. at St. Columbkille Church, in Stoneboro, Pa. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Mary's Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown, Md., where "Phyl and Will" spent their last days being cared for, as she once cared for others.
