Phyllis Rae Padgett

of West Memphis, AR

July 22, 1939 - June 16, 2020

Born July 22, 1939 in Garnett, Kansas to Helen Faustina Johnson and William Dallas Henry.
Phyllis was a gentle, loving and a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. Her enjoyment in life was her family. She was an old fashion caregiver of everything at home from cleaning to cooking. Known for the best hush puppy ever. Whether feeding her family or neighborhood friends, she had the ability to stretch a meal farther than many thought possible. Later in life, her greatest love was helping to care for her grandchildren.

As a teenager living in San Diego with her mom and Eddie, she met Eugene ''Simmie'' Vaughan, who became the light of her life. On June 3, 1956 they were united in marriage and for the next 20 years share a life full of many wonderful memories of raising their three children; Jenell, Brad, and Tammy.

On July 14, 1982, she found love again and united in marriage to Robert Padgett in Anchorage, Alaska. They shared a life together at their home in Marion, AR and at ''The Cabin'' on Maddox Bay.

She was a Christian and member of Marion First Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir, assisted in the office and fellowship building. She loved her Sunday school ladies and red hats and garden club.

24 years ago, her health began to give her hurdles. With the hands of our Lord & Savior, she was given strength and a positive outlook to overcome these challenges. On June 16, 2020 the Lord tenderly led her to her eternal home; free of all restrictions which had become so familiar to her.

She will forever remain in our hearts and we shall carry with us her positive, contentment, peaceful and loving nature until we meet again.
