Phyllis Ann Stevens

Phyllis Ann “Pumpkin” Stevens, born on August 15, 1962, in the heart of Nashville, passed away there, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter.

She is predeceased by her parents, Kenneth and Maddie Diviney; son, James Anthony Stevens; brothers, Kenny Diviney, Steve Diviney, David Diviney, and Alfred Diviney.

She is survived by her sons, Randy Stevens, Bobby Stevens (Brianna); sisters, Deborah Stanfield, Cindy Featherstone (Danny), Nina Howell; 17 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren, and numerous other nieces, nephews, and other family members.

Her greatest joy in life was her family, especially her cherished grandchildren, who brought endless light into her world. Phyllis was known for her unwavering kindness, her infectious sense of humor, and her ability to make anyone feel at ease. She had a remarkable capacity for empathy and was always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.

Despite facing life’s challenges, she approached life with resilience and grace. Her three sons were the center of her universe, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Whether it was fishing, relaxing by the river, cruising around town, enjoying her favorite tunes, or having a cozy movie day, Phyllis found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Even in the face of a courageous battle with cancer over the past few years, her spirit remained strong, and her love continued to shine brightly.
