Phyllis grew-up in Gaston and then Rheasville, just outside of Roanoke Rapids.

She was a graduate of Aurelian Springs High School, Class of 1961.

She and her husband, Tommy, were residents of Darlington.

She was a life-long learner, taking accounting classes, computer classes, and business courses. She and Tommy`s work with Warren Brothers, and later Warren Bros. Farms, was widely known.

After Tommy’s death in 2010, Phyllis continued farming growing cotton, soy beans, and peanuts up until her death.  

Everyone who knew Phyllis recognized her love for her family and for others in the community.

She was actively involved in the community, with particular support for Roanoke Rapids’ Union Mission. Her volunteer efforts were extensive and will be missed.



She is survived by her sons, Christopher (Gretchen), of Stafford, Va., and Patrick Warren, of Darlington; her grandchildren, Britney, Justin and Tyler Warren, of Darlington, and Chad Warren, of Stafford; her sister, Lana (Larry), niece Tracy (Eric), and great-nephew Jake: sisters-in-law, Faye Sanderford, Bettie (Curtis) Carlisle, Dean Gorman; her brothers-in-law, Dan (Marie) and Billy (Sandra) Warren, all of the Darlington Community; the best of life-long friends, Mary Ann and Billy Sorie, of Roanoke Rapids.



A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, September 21, at Darlington Baptist Church.

A floating visitation with family and friends will follow in the Darlington Community Club.



In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Union Mission, P.O. Box 968, Roanoke Rapids NC 27870.
