Phyllis T. Height, the second child and only daughter, was born to Thelma

Talley Height and David Russell Height Jr. on March 4, 1945. Phyllis was

educated in the Philadelphia Public School System and graduated from

John Bartram High School.

Phyllis was employed in various jobs. She eventually began employment as

a Senior Nursing Assistant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She

retired in 2006 after having assisted in the care of children for thirty-nine

and a half years.

Phyllis met Arthur Brown, and they were married at a relative's home in

1966. From that time to this, they have remained inseparable, parenting

their three children and caring for their extended family.

Phyllis's parents took her to church as a young child, where she learned

about the Lord and developed a genuine love for Him. In 2006, Phyllis

began attending the Mt. Moriah Apostolic Church, where she was baptized

in Jesus Name and received the Holy Ghost. She became a faithful member

and served as the Sunday School teacher for the Me-Too children's class,

was a member of the Saints of Wisdom Ministry (SOWs) and the Youth

Ministry's Hype Praiser. She referred to the youth and everyone she was

endeared to as her babies.

Phyllis loved everything about Mt. Moriah from Sunday School to Monday

Night prayer to Bible Study to Sunday worship service. Phyllis loved to

praise the Lord, and she looked forward to Sunday's breakfast with the

cheese eggs that only Sis. Delores would prepare perfectly for her liking.

Phyllis was genuinely loved by her family, friends, and church family. She

had a generous heart and loved to give and bless others. She always had a

card with something in it to celebrate everyone's special moments. She

especially enjoyed having her family around her and sponsored and cooked

for family barbecues for many years. Phyllis was also a diehard Eagles fan

and watched all their games. She also liked to watch television. Family

Feud, soap operas, the sci-fi channel and old school TV were her main go to.

Phyllis also loved to do crossword puzzles and had her snacks with her

during her leisure time.

Phyllis T. Height fought a good fight and finished her course on Friday,

June 13, 2025. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thelma and

Richard Height Jr.; her brothers, David Height and Bryant Height; and her

great-grandson, Jahseir Green. Phyllis leaves to cherish her memory;

Arthur Brown, her husband of 59 years; three children, Lisa Brown (Kevin),

Richard Height, and Phyllis Brown (James); twelve grandchildren, Michelle

(Darvin), Michael, Kisha (Andre), Aisha, Jasmine, Malik, Tamara, Richard,

Rashann (Susan), Amber, Sharif, and Shemar; twenty-nine

great-grandchildren; two great great-grandchildren; Doretha Hyman, her

friend of 58+ years; a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins; her cat, Oreo;

her neighbors on the 2000 block of Aldan Street; her Mt. Moriah Apostolic

Church family; and many others too numerous to name but well loved by

Phyllis.

Lovingly Submitted,

The Family
