Obituary
PHYLLIS EILEEN (DAVIS) BRACE, 91, of
Zellwood, Florida formerly of Huntington, WV, widow of James Alvin
Brace, died on Sunday, April 19, 2020 at her daughter's home. Phyllis
was born on November 12, 1928 on her parents' first anniversary. She was
the first child of the late Howard and Pearl (Hager) Davis of Milton,
WV. In addition to her parents, Phyllis was preceded in death by her
brother, Donald E. Davis of Huntington, her daughter, Priscilla Dawn
(Holley) Lucas of Orlando, FL, and her first husband and father of her
children, Dalton (Buck) Holley of South Point, Ohio. Phyllis is survived
by her sisters- Dorothy Johnson and Judy Rigsby Lucas (Lebert) of
Huntington, her daughter-Teresa Jane (Holley) Cardoza (Ron) of Zellwood,
FL, her step-children- Dean Brace (Lori) of Fayetteville, NC and Jill
Brace of WV, two granddaughters -Kim Johnson Compton of Florida and Amy
Connell-Hamilton (Bryan) of Virginia and one very special friend -
Frances Hooker of Milton, WV. She was blessed with four
great-grandchildren -Tiffany, April, Jesse and Kade, six great-great
grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Upon her 1946 graduation from
Huntington East High School, Phyllis eventually moved to Orlando,
Florida where she worked in the hospitality industry when Orlando's
tourism was just beginning to develop. She served as the Food and
Beverage Director for The Grand Floridian for many years. She also
attended Real Estate school. During retirement, Phyllis served as the
Canteen Manager for the Pine Hills VFW #8152. Always mindful of our
veterans, Phyllis served as the President of the Women's Auxilliary for
the VFW #8152 in Pine Hills for many years. Prior to moving back to
Florida in 2018, Phyllis made many friends during her stay at Victory
Place in Barboursville. She was baptized by Rev. David Lemming and
became a member of Lewis Memorial Baptist Church. Phyllis was known to
be a lot of fun and lived her life to the max. Her favorite song was by
Frank Sinatra, I DID IT MY WAY. It describes her perfectly and for that
she will be greatly missed. Due to the Covid19 pandemic restrictions, a
memorial service will be held in Huntington at a later date. Chapman's
Mortuary is honored to be serving Phyllis' family with the arrangements.
