Phyllis M. Browning Phyllis M. Browning died on July 18, 2006 after battling Parkinson's disease for many years. She was predeceased by her husband Henry "Hank" Browning and brother Anthony Marinacci of Chester, PA. Her survivors include her daughter Marcy Browning and granddaughter Lauren of Georgetown, son Peter Browning of Austin, Sister Evelyn Brown and husband Bill. Phyllis was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After graduation from Upper Darby PA High School, she received her teaching degree from West Chester Teachers College. Phyllis was active in sports receiving the MVP for varsity field hockey, and was placed on the U. S. Olympic Team. After college Phyllis taught primary grades in the Metropolitan Philadelphia area for several years before moving to Germany to teach in American service personnel children's schools. While there she met and married Hank Browning, an Air Force officer. After being transferred back to the states, she continued teaching in elementary schools. Upon her retirement from teaching, Phyllis turned to breeding Arabian horses. She and her husband Hank established a worldwide reputation breeding champion Arabian horses. The "Browning bred Arabians" were recognized for their excellence as was Phyllis for the kind, generous and sincere relationships she established during this time. Breeding Arabians was a passion that Phyllis began in the 1970's and continued until her passing at Brighton Gardens in Austin, Texas. Playing club tennis and bridge, and telling jokes were at the top of her life hobbies. Her quick wit, intellect, and compassion for others drew many of us to her. She touched many lives and will be truly missed.
