Elsie Phillips
Elsie Faye Abbott Phillips, age 81 of Cabot, passed away March 26, 2010. She was born near Cabot on October 9, 1928, the youngest child of Jim and Alice Abbott.
She married C. K. Phillips on June 18, 1948 and they enjoyed 52 years of marriage until he went to be with the Lord in October of 2000.
She was also preceded in death by her parents, Jim and Alice Abbott, brothers, Monroe, Lewis and Bill Abbott, sister Opal Adams and a great-granddaughter Morgan Cook.
Elsie was a lifetime member of Zion Hill Baptist Church. She was a psychiatric technician for the Arkansas State Hospital in Little Rock before retiring, but was always the resident "nurse" in her family and community, caring for everyone that was in need.
She loved life and was always there for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her family was her greatest joy and she especially looked forward to the time when they were all home together.
She is survived by daughters Brenda (Trieber) Jones and Lisa Phillips of Cabot, Kim (Russell) King of Mt. Vernon; grandchildren Natalie (Dale) Cook of Clinton, MS., Kent (Gina) Jones of Cabot, Christopher (Andrea) Jones of Rogers, Matt (Dana) Healy of Vilonia, Samantha and Lauren King of Mt. Vernon; Chuck King of Austin and Jennifer King of Jacksonville; great-grandchildren, Allison and Madelyn Cook of Clinton, MS, Brandon, Kindall, and Kirsten Jones of Cabot, Evan Jones of Rogers, Cole and Sara King of Austin; and two special great-grandbabies arriving soon. She also leaves many nieces, nephews and extended family and friends to cherish her memory.
Her daughters would like to send their special love and thanks to Trieber and Russell for the love and devotion that they gave to Momma. She never thought of them as in-laws but as her special sons.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Scott Beau and his staff, as well as the staff of Arkansas Heart Hospital for the special care, kindness and friendship that they have shown to our Mother and family.
Memorials may be made to Zion Hill Baptist Church, 11923 Zion Hill Road, Cabot, AR 72023.
Funeral services will be held 2:30 P.M. Tuesday at Zion Hill Baptist Church. Interment will be in Sumner Cemetery.
