~ IN MEMORY ~
Phyllis V. Pelton, widow of WAL Capt. Bill Pelton
1930 ~ 2014
I spoke with Captain Pelton’s son Rick
today...Rick informs us of the passing of his stepmother Phyllis Pelton,
widow of Western Airlines Captain Billy Harold Pelton. Phyllis had been in
declining health for some time. I believe she was 84 years of age at the time
of her passing February 13, 2014. She had most recently been in an assisted
living place in Nevada.
If I hear more I will pass the word.....
Thank you,
~ Carol
