Honoring President Shriver

Staff

The Shriver family has asked that Phillip Shriver be remembered with a donation to any one of the following: Miami University Phillip R. Shriver Scholarship, the Miami Glee Club Director's Fund, the Lakeside Association or the Oxford Presbyterian Church.

Darcy Shriver explained the family chose these specific groups with her father's wishes in mind.

"First and foremost, the scholarship was chosen because it goes to students, giving opportunities for kids to be at Miami, and that is huge for us and for dad, because students were at the center of his life."

"The Glee Club was special because he had sung in the glee club at Yale … the glee club is very, very special to him. He would just tear up when we'd go to glee club concerts, and he rarely missed one. He and mom just loved the Miami glee club." Darcy Shriver said she and her mother Martha attended the Miami glee club concert April 15, the Shrivers' 67th wedding anniversary.

"The Lakeside Association is a wonderful community up on Lake Erie … it's near and dear to all of us, and dad."

"Lastly, his church: dad was a very strong Christian man and always walked the faith. He didn't always talk about it, but he was a very, very, faithful man. To pass away on Easter… Easter was a very special time to him."

The family plans to have a private burial and a public memorial service will be held at a later date.
