Phyllis was born on April 30, 1926 in Baltimore, Maryland to the late John and Margaret Kastendike. She attended Marion School for Girls in Marion, Virginia and shortly after graduation married Charles W. Brasse Jr. They had two sons, Charles W. Brasse, III and Robert Ames Brasse. She divorced Charles and moved to Miami, FL with the two boys where she took a position as a Credit and Collections clerk with National Airlines from which she retired after twenty years. While in Miami, Phyllis met and married her second husband Johnny. Phyllis always enjoyed helping Johnny with different homes he built and the two of them moved to several different cities before settling in the Lakeland, FL area. She always enjoyed seeing relatives while traveling in the motor home and later in life became very interested in cooking. After Johnny's death she needed assisted care and moved to the Charlotte, NC area where she resided until her passing.

We were sorry to hear of Phyllis' death and offer our sincere condolences to her family. We only knew Johnny and Phyllis for two years preceding Johnny's death as neighbors in Lakeland, Florida. During those years we learned of their devotion to each other, their rich life experiences together, and their willingness to help others. We especially remember Phyllis' intelligence and keen sense of humor. We will never forget the Foughners, our best neighbors ever.

So sorry about your Mom.I miss she and Uncle Johnnie's visits. Their volunteer work for St. Anthony Church and Lakeland Regional Medical Center were true faith. Loving thoughts, Jan Bargeron
