April 12, 1939 – November 16, 2025

Phoebe Rose Burdick Klein, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on April 12, 1939, Phoebe lived a life defined by kindness and a deep devotion to those she loved. Family was the heart of her world, and she poured her love into every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, who will carry her wisdom and compassion with them always.

Phoebe was predeceased by her husband, Frederick R. Klein, and her son, Frederick R. Klein, Jr. Their memories remained ever-present in her heart, and she carried their love with her throughout her life.

She is survived by her daughters, Suzanne Klein Badley, of Vero Beach, FL, and Elizabeth Klein Senif of South Beach, OR. She was a devoted and proud grandmother to Alexandra M. Beuttell and Haley L. Beuttell, both of Jacksonville, FL, and to Christopher S. Senif and Nicholas F. Senif, both of South Beach, OR. She was also blessed with one great-grandchild, Trig A. Roberts of Jacksonville, FL, who brought her much joy.

Phoebe was known for her remarkable entertaining skills and her talent for bringing people together with warmth, grace, and effortless hospitality. Her love of travel filled her life with adventure and allowed her to form deep and lasting friendships internationally, most notably with her dear British friends. At the card table, Phoebe’s gentle demeanor transformed into spirited determination. She was a fiercely competitive card player, especially at bridge, pinocle and cribbage, and she was always ready for a lively match and never shy about celebrating a well-earned win. Those moments of friendly rivalry and laughter remain among her family’s fondest memories.

Phoebe’s legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the values she instilled, and the love she shared so freely. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit continues to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew her.
