Phyllis May Brown

GREENSBORO Phyllis May Brown found her peace February 10, 2016. She was born April 11, 1941, the third child of Homer C. and Eliza Brown, in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was raised in Catlett, VA, and later lived in Culpeper, VA. In her later years, she came to live with the family of her sister Jeannette (Jenny) Young in Greensboro, NC. Phyllis was special, kind and gentle. She loved her little dog, Bobo, and always held Elvis Presley in her heart. She could spend hours enjoying re-runs of I Love Lucy and The Golden Girls. She looked forward to her friends and activities at the Adult Center for Enrichment. Jenny was totally committed to the loving care of her sister and the family, especially thanks to the wonderful care and assistance of special helpers, Madeline Brailey, Rita Johnson, Ayrn Taylor and Aimee Nelson. We could not have managed without their kindness and help. We would also like to thank Pruitt Hospice Care. Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Homer, Jr. She is survived by her sister, Jane Steljes of Charlottesville, VA and her sister Jenny (Clint) Young of Greensboro, NC; nephews Dennis Steljes (Kim) and Grant Young; and niece Amanda Perry (Lowell). Her friends and family will miss Phyllis. We hope she finds love as big as her heart and is somewhere walking now with Elvis. A graveside service will be held Saturday, February 18, 2017 at 2 p.m. in Etlan Cemetery, Etlan, VA. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 p.m. Friday, February 17, 2017 at Forbis and Dick, N. Elm Street. Online condolences may be offered at www.forbisanddick.com.
