Phyllis Bacon Rice- Age 64, July 3, 2016. She is survived by her daughters, Anna Rice Thomas (Jeremy) and Rebecca Rice Haskins (Michael); grandchildren, Ali, Josh, David, Eleanor, William and Olivia; brothers, Mike Bacon (Cathy) and Pat Bacon (Gwen).
Phyllis was a vibrant and talented woman who loved God and her family fiercely. She was spontaneous and adventurous; there was never a dull moment around her. She was a prayer warrior, an artist, a tennis player, a ballroom dancer, and a karaoke champion. She also had a talent for decorating; whether it was herself, a home, a garden, or a friend, she knew how to make things beautiful. But the two things that defined her life the most were her love of Jesus and her love of music. When she combined the two, it was powerful indeed. She was a good and faithful servant to Christ, and though she will be missed by many here, we know she is in His restorative presence where there is joy beyond measure.
