On behalf of Calhoun Funeral Home we express our deepest condolences to the Family, may God watch over and comfort you in this time and season.

Rest in peace my friend. You were a joy to know.

Rest in Peace my friend ❤

Aunt Phyllis will be greatly missed, and we will continue covering the family in our prayers. Love Vince and Liz

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Our prayers are with the family! May God comfort you during these difficult times.

Whitney, my condolences on the loss of your mother. She must have been an amazing mom to have raised such a genuinely kind and considerate man as you. You are in my prayers friend.

Condolences and deepest sympathy to the family. I first met Phyllis and her children in the late 60s when she was teaching them tennis on the original Warrensville Hts. courts. I reconnected with her after I started playing tennis. She was a member of the Glendale Tennis Club which played out of the old Racquet Club East and at various outdoor courts around the area. My memory is of a strong Black lady with a ready smile.

I have known Phyllis for over 40 years. First it was tennis and recently learning to play pickleball. She was very competitive and I am sure will be many people from both sports. May God be a comfort to your family at this time.

Phyllis was a wonderful pickleball player and person. Her skills and temperament helped make her a great player, friend and playing partner. She is missed. We had talked about starting a program at the Collingwood Recreation Center but sadly ran out of town.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. Phyllis was so sweet and encouraging. I really enjoyed being with her on and off the pickleball court. She will be missed by me and everyone who knew her.........very sad news.

I am stunned and really do not know what to say. I loved playing with her. She was truly a great person.

So sorry to hear this news.

I remember Phylis very well. That is sad news indeed. I will hold onto the memory of her on the pickleball court with a smile on her face and a cheery disposition and yes, she was a spitfire. Peace be with her and her family.

So sorry to hear the news about Phyllis, she was such a pleasure to be around—She had such a great spirit! I found this picture of her and wanted to share it with everyone.

As far as I knew, Phyllis was a healthy vegan eater. She helped me make good decisions about nutritious foods. I’m so sad to hear about her passing.

One of my very favorite P-ball players. I will miss her smile and friendship. ... a lot. rest in peace.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of Phyllis.

So Sad, I never knew she was ill. Phyllis was awesome to play with. She was a true gamer. Thoughts and prayers with her and her Family

This is shockingly sad news and she will be missed by all of us.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

How sad, she was such a nice person.

Although I have not played PB this past year(soon to have shoulder surgery) I remember Phyllis well. She was a terrific player who always had a cheery disposition and a big smile on her face.

Definitely shockingly sad! Phyllis and I played tennis together for years. I didn’t even know she was sick! Wow. So sad! She was such a wonderful person to be around both on and off court.

So sad to hear of Phyllis Henry's passing and like so many others, had no idea that she was sick. What a joy to play with and against. Always kind and good spirited

I am so saddened by her passing. I had no idea. I so enjoyed talking with her and playing with her and against her. I think we all wished we could have known and been supportive in her journey.

So sad to hear this news !! She was a sweet person, always so pleasant. She’ll be missed!

Phyllis is part of our family of players. Not only was she a good player but a good person. I did some genealogy for her and I hope all of the history from Tennessee,West Virginia, Alabama and Mississippi still exists. She, herself, had a nice long record as a Clevelander and Ohioan. I will miss her.

I am soo sorry to be reading this Phyllis was not only a great P B player but a great person to be around. She will be missed❤️

I am soo sorry to be reading this Phyllis was not only a great P B player but a great person to be around. She will be missed❤

Really very sad news, she was a wonderful woman, my condolences for the whole family

Phyllis was a beloved member of our Pickleball group. We all loved playing with her and enjoyed her quick laugh. She will truly be missed.

As all of the pickleballers, I was shocked and saddened to learn about Phyllis. I loved playing with her, she was so positive and fun. She will be missed greatly.

My condolences to you an your family. She was so well liked and a good player. We'll miss her smile.

Wow. What a wonderful woman. Even tempered, friendly, eager to learn, a "genuine" good human being ...

Oh my God! I am so shocked to hear about Phyllis! I can not believe it! She was always so nice, and pleasant, and cool! I can still hear her cute, little laughs when we would often joke around. She will surely be missed! My sincere and heartfelt condolensces go out to her family and friends...

A really nice women has sadly left Cleveland for her new home. She will be missed by all.

How sad! I always enjoyed playing with her.

I have known Phyllis for over 30 years She did not know me but I marveled so many times at her very high level of tennis play on the Cleveland Hts tennis courts while I was on the next court over banging the ball. Mayfield pickle ball will never be the same without her. She was my very favorite player to play with and against-she would laugh at all dumb jokes-She always had a smile and would pick me up both physically and emotionally when we were on the court together-Her classy baseball caps and colorful tennis shoes. Oh my will she be missed

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
