Phylanthia Stephens

Phylanthia D. Stephens was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 30, 1954 to the late Valencia (Warren) Davis and Armfield Davis. Phylanthia professed Christ at an early age, and joined in Christian fellowship at the Pilgrim Baptist Missionary Church. In later years, she joined the House of Joy Christian Church. Phylanthia graduated from Withrow High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. She attended the University of Cincinnati, and later went on to study in the health care field. After the completion of her studies, she worked in hospitals and clinics. Phylanthia loved taking care of people. She worked in that field until her health failed. Phylanthia was married to Alfred Stephens, and two sons were born to that union, Alfred Jr. and Don'te Stephens. On Friday, July 8, 2011, Phylanthia gave up her earthly amour, and went home to join her eternal father. Her precious memories will be cherished by her family. She was a wonderful loving and God-fearing woman. We loved her so very much.
