Jacqueline I. Phillips, 89

GOLDSBORO — Jacqueline Ingram Phillips, 89, was called home on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015 to the loving arms of Jesus Christ her Lord.

Jacqueline was born in Fulton County, Ga., on June 8, 1926 to the late Leonard Ingram and Maude Cain Ingram. She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, James Benjamin Phillips on July 6, 1998. Jacqueline was a life member and had served as Past Commander and Chaplain of the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Chapter 45. She was also a member of the Phi Theta Kappa.

Jacqueline's life was filled with humility, kindness and a love for others that she displayed every time she smiled. She dedicated her life to serving her family unselfishly and to serving her Lord. She was a member of Oak Ridge Church of God of Prophecy. Jacqueline was always on call to give an encouraging word or helping hand. Granny, as she was affectionately called by her grandchildren and family, was a true Christian lady who loved God and lived each day showing those around her what faith in action is all about. She was caring, giving, loving, and yes —- feisty!

A service celebrating Jacqueline's life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept 26, in the chapel of Seymour Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Wayne Memorial Park.

Jacqueline is survived by her daughters, Starr Daughtry and husband Travis of Newton Grove and Gaye Mossholder of Goldsboro; son, James Michael Phillips and wife Ethel of Huber Heights, OH; sisters, Ann Cauette and Daphine Swanner; brothers, Curtis Ingram and wife Nancy and Trevis Ingram and wife Pam; five grandchildren, Angela Jones, Dean Wilson and Kristi Wagner, Michael Phillips, Kristi and David Sellers, Tammy and Randy Salkill; nine great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Robert Ingram; and two grandsons, Richard Mossholder II and Ian Phillips.

Flowers are welcome or memorials may be made to Alzheimer's Association, Eastern, North Carolina, 3739 National Drive, Suite 110, Raleigh, N.C. 27612.

The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, at Seymour Funeral Home and other times at her home.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
