My mom was known for many years as “the chicken lady” she always said she loved animals more than she did most people. Through the years she had so many accomplishments one of which was being a loving granny to her grandson Jonathan Phillips who preceded her in death “he is not dead but asleep” were her words. She also loved her great-granddaughter Lillian (Lily) Abigail with all her ❤️. Back in her younger years she graduated from Hardbarger Business College & not only worked for Governor Terry Sanford but wrote a book with him.

She bought the best gifts ever!! She enjoyed sending cards out to everyone on every occasion.
