Harriet Davis Phelps

September 27, 1954 — April 19, 2017

PHELPS, Harriet Davis, 62, of Miami Township, passed away on April 19, 2017 surrounded by her loving family. Harriet was born in New Bedford, MA. The daughter of Dr. Bernard G. Davis and Helen W. Davis, she attended Dartmouth High School and the University of Vermont. A proud U.S. Air Force wife, she and her family shared 24 years of military adventure in Duluth, MN; Sacramento, CA; Newbury, England; and Dayton, OH. Harriet was employed at Alex Bell Dental in Centerville, OH for nearly 20 years. During that time, she treated every patient as an extended member of her own family. Her big smile and huge heart will be missed by everyone. In her spare time, she loved long walks, Rock and Roll, and the Boston Red Sox. She is survived by her best friend and husband of 42 years, Wayne G. Phelps; loving daughter, Jennifer L. Phelps, of Alexandria, VA.; sister, Marion D. Davis, of Lexington, MA.; nephew, Jason D. Davis, of Waltham, MA. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Wright-Patterson Medical Center and Hospice of Dayton for the outstanding care and support they've provided. Harriet's joyful spirit will live on forever in our hearts. A Celebration of Life will be held at Routsong Funeral Home, 2100 E. Stroop Rd., Kettering, OH on Sunday, April 30, 2017 from 1:00-3:00pm.
