Philip W. Foley
Philip W. Foley, age 77, of Mayfield Heights, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on May 30, 2025, in Pepper Pike, Ohio.
Born Oct. 4, 1947, in Cleveland, he was the beloved son of the late William and Berniece (nee Wells) Foley.
A lifelong resident of Mayfield, Philip graduated from Mayfield High School in 1966. He worked there for a decade as a janitor before spending 30 years with the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, where he served faithfully in the laundry department. He approached every task with care and consistency, always giving his best.
Philip found joy in life’s simple pleasures—riding the bus, playing board games, especially UNO, a favorite pastime he enjoyed sharing with others.
He is survived by his cousin, Betty Wells Bliss; and second cousins, Dan W. Bliss, Michelle Bliss Harman and Stacy Graeff Jantz.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Private family services have been held.
