Successful in her professional life, Phyllis Kramer, came to be known all over the Jewish genealogy world for her contributions to genealogy education.
As one of JewishGen’s well-known volunteers and board members, she went out of her way to use her professionally-gained skills to construct an educational component that Jewish genealogy newbies as well as more advanced students could easily access and use on-line to further their knowledge.
She was a special person and as she worked tirelessly over the years to build this education component, she also took it upon herself to speak to Jewish Genealogy Societies and other groups and assisted in IAJGS educational courses at Conferences.
She was a forthright educator who could use simple terminology and explanations to enable the newest genealogy enthusiast to understand what was being taught. In addition, she was happy to answer inquiries and make suggestions for further research which made her a popular speaker.
Her participation in bringing knowledge in innovative ways to the JGSGM membership was much appreciated. She will certainly be remembered fondly by the many Jewish genealogy researchers around the world for her contributions to Jewish genealogy.
May her soul rest in peace and her family be comforted by their sweet memories of her.
