Obituary of Cheryl Harris Phillips

Cheryl Harris Phillips, 59, passed away surrounded by her family and friends on Sunday, July 13, 2014 at the Hospice Care Center in Fairlawn, Ohio. Cheryl was born on July 12, 1955 in Rockingham, NC to Bobby and Betty Harris. She married Al Phillips in 1974 and together raised their son Kevin. Though they moved often for Al's career, Cheryl was a valuable member of each community in which she settled. Cheryl worked as a registered nurse and was most recently a member of the Gadsden First United Methodist Church in Gadsden Alabama. She enjoyed scrapbooking, participating in book clubs, volunteering her time as a nurse, and most of all, spoiling her three grand kids. Cheryl is survived by her mother, Betty; Al, her husband of nearly 40 years; son Kevin and daughter-in-law Dana; and grandchildren Reagan, Lauren and Spencer. She was preceded in death by her father, Bobby Harris and sister Lynn Perkins. The family thanks the Hospice Care Center for their devoted care during Cheryl's final days. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 17 at 7 PM, at the Anthony Funeral Homes, Anthony and Son Chapel in Green, where the family will receive friends beginning at 6 PM.
