A special thank you is in order to all the staff of Modern Caregivers of Piney Flats, especially Sheila Sigmon. They were a special group of people that ensured our mother was well taken care in her last days. There was a never a need that was not met or detail that was left out in caring for her.

She also leaves behind a very special and longtime friend, Mary Charles “Charlie” Wilson. Charlie and Phyllis had a friendship that spanned over sixty years. They both loved and cared for each other as well as each others’ families.

Thanks must also be made to Rev. Tim Tapp for always checking in on our mom and going out of his way to pay a visit and brighten her day.

A ceremony will be held at Central Baptist at a later date, details to be published as they are set.
