Phyllis Cady Obituary

CADY, PHYLLIS, Phyllis Cady (Disinger), born 1922, Syracuse, NY, blasted a perfect drive off the tee in Orlando, FL on September 23, 2007, following by four years her husband Levi's hole-in-one from the same tee. In the presence of her children, her ball zoomed out of sight, on into the mists of time, and it is the belief of her family and friends that her trajectory has guided her ball, just like our Dad's, peacefully and directly into the cup on the 19th hole at Ari-
zona Country Club in Phoenix, AZ. Her friend, Arnie, will
undoubtedly salute her. Mom will respond with her own one-finger salute. Phyllis is survived by her children, Kristine Cady of Heaven, Dan Cady of Flagstaff, AZ, Pete Cady of Phoenix, AZ, Sarah Flanagan of Orlando, FL, Betsy Martin of Richmond, VT, and Michele Kogler of Costa Mesa, CA. Eight grandchildren and one and one-half great-grandchildren have thoroughly enjoyed her generosity and love.

The most wondrous and uplifting obituary I have ever seen. As a golfer, I appreciate and understand the "one finger salute". A wonderful celebration of a life well lived indeed.

I hope my survivors have the love for me & the imagination to write such a wonderful obituary. Your mother obviously loved you all & her life, but she will be spending eternity with joy while she watches over you here & prepares a place for you when your time comes to join her. May your memories of her keep you laughing in the midst of your grief & loneliness for her. "Fore."
