Margie was born on November 14, 1925 in Rusk, Texas to Raymond & Audry McGraw Welch.  Margie was a great friend to all.  She was an avid quilter and crocheter. She was a member of the “Knit Wits”, a local group of quilters & knitters that make hats and blankets for cancer patients and the homeless, or anyone that could just use one.  She was also a member of the Pt. Enterprise Goodwill Club. Being members of these clubs was very fitting for Margie, as she was a very charitable, giving person.  Margie was also an avid reader, enjoyed gardening and working in her yard and also enjoyed bird watching, especially hummingbirds. 

Ms. Phillips was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Marion Phillips; son, Jimmy Phillips; daughter-in-law, Linda Phillips and brother, Roland Welch; survivors include her sister, Beverly Spell; granddaughters, Nancy Reedy & husband, Kelly and Rebecca Phillips; great-grandchildren, Austin, Kamden and Jordyn; special friend, Catherine Tucker and husband, Jesse; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
