Phyllis Evelyn Silverwood passed from this life on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, in Stillwater, OK with her family by her side at the age of 78. Phyllis was born on October 2, 1945, to Hazel (Russell) and Jack Cowden in Maryville, Tennessee. Phyllis and her family moved around Blount County, while her father worked on many dairy farms. She attended school in Blount County. Phyllis married the love of her life, Eugene Linley Haworth, on November 23, 1964, and to this union 7 kids were born. Phyllis was a hard-working woman, and always enjoyed a good cup of coffee. She would get up early cooking, cleaning, milking cows, helping with the farm, and raising her kids. Some of her hobbies included canning, baking bread, walking in the woods and bee keeping. When it was time to harvest honey, you could find Phyllis at the bee hives in her full bee suit gathering honey. She tended to her gardens, making sure they were watered and beautiful. When Phyllis had free time, you could find her working on a word search or watching an old Western movie. Phyllis' hobbies included canning, baking bread and walking in the woods. Many times, Phyllis would just sit outside enjoying nature or reading a book. Phyllis would read not just for enjoyment, but to further her knowledge. When she did not understand something, she would dive into a book to understand all about it. She read about all different subjects, including Astronomy and birds. She loved to sit outside and point out the different species of birds and at night look at the stars and the moon. The greatest joy of Phyllis' life was her family. One of her many accomplishments was teaching herself how to drive a stick shift in the early 1970's. She loved talking and spending time with her children and grandchildren. Phyllis was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She will be missed by all.
