Phyllis Everett Obituary

HAMPTON - Phyllis Everett, a lifelong resident of Newport News, Va., went home to be with Jesus on Oct. 30, 2003.

She leaves to celebrate her home-going, mother, Frances Everett; her sister, Pinkie Riddick; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Viewing will be held from noon to 7 p.m. Monday at Cooke Bros. Funeral Chapel. The homegoing service will be at noon Tuesday, Nov. 4, at Gospel Spreading Church of God, 1816, Jefferson Ave., Newport News. Interment will follow in Pleasant Shade Cemetery.

I met Phyllis at the nursing home once they move my mother-in-law (Lenora Gaines Artis) in the same room. She was always a joy. She kept me informed of my mother-in-law's activities and visitors. I could always count on Phyllis filling me in. She was a sweet person. I really enjoyed talking to her. When She started getting sick, it hurt my heart to see her in pain and not being able to eat. I know she is fine now because she is with the Lord sharing her stories and laughter. She is truly missed.

God Bless you all,

Sharon Gaines
