Phyllis Gladman

March 6, 1935 — May 22, 2009

Phyllis C. Gladman, of Leawood, Kansas passed away peacefully after an eight year courageous battle with lung cancer with her family at her side at the KC Hospice House in the early morning on Friday, May 22, 2009.

Phyllis was a loving daughter to her parents, Edith and Deacon Cohen, who preceded her in death and with whom she is now reunited. Phyllis was a life time resident of Kansas City, Leawood and Overland Park. She is survived by her children, Sharon and Beverly . She was a devoted mother who always did her very best to provide, care and love for her children. They will always remember Phyllis as their beautiful, smart, funny, caring, loyal and fiercely protective mother. They will love and miss having her in their lives each day talking and spending time with her.

Phyllis was a loving grandmother to her two granddaughters who she adored and treasured, Gabrielle Choikhit and Alycia Choikhit, both of whom will deeply miss respectively their Grams and Grammy. She always provided a safe and loving place for them in her heart and arms.

She was a successful business owner of the prestigious Phyllis Gladman & Associates Real Estate Company; as a broker she achieved numerous times the “Four Million Dollar Club” award. Her clients were friends and she did not sell houses, but rather helped them find homes to build their lives. She always did the right thing for her family, friends and clients.

Phyllis was raised in Kansas City, graduated from Paseo High School and attended Oklahoma University in Norman, Oklahoma, where she was a member of the Sigma Delta Tau sorority. Phyllis enjoyed playing golf, watching movies, cooking with her grandchildren and adored her animals, especially her dog, Gus.
