Photograph of Phyllis (O’Neal) Harbison, seated on a chair, with her older sister, Juanita O’Neal, standing beside her.
Phyllis and Juanita were the only children of Clinton Burns (1900-1954) and Sara Anna (Bowers) (1900-1988) O’Neil from the Woodstock area. Their father was a carpenter, born in Keyser, West Virginia.
Juanita never married. She graduated from Woodstock High School in 1953 and later went to work for Aileen Inc., where she stayed for 31 years, retiring in 1994. She was a member of Woodstock Christian Church and attended St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Woodstock.
Phyllis married Lt. Gerald Eugene Harbison (1937-1989) in Mississippi in 1957. He was a U.S. Marine Corps officer stationed at the Whiting Naval Air Base in Pensacola, Florida, at the time of the wedding. The couple had three daughters and a son together, but divorced in 1972.
Sometime after that, Phyllis returned to Woodstock and worked as a cook in a nursing home when she died.
Both sisters are buried together in Massanutten Cemetery in Woodstock.
