Phyllis L. Thompson
Phyllis accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized on October 4, 1992, at Original New Paradise Church where she remained a faithful and devoted member until she earned her wings. Her life reflected quiet strength, unwavering faith, and a heart rooted in service to God and others.
Phyllis was a loving mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend whose warmth, wisdom, and compassion touched many lives. Her legacy of faith, love and perseverance will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
Phyllis leaves to cherish her precious memory her children: Ivan (Kelli) Thompson, Nada Thompson, Ron Thompson, Diane (Sheila) Williams; her beloved grandchildren: Marcus Hicks, Tirrell Washington, Isaiah Thompson, Kasey Thompson; her siblings: Melvyna Gaynor, Janice Gaynor; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family, friends and her cherished Original New Paradise Church family.
Phyllis was preceded in death by her brother Joseph Gaynor.
Though she will be deeply missed, we rejoice in knowing she now rests in eternal peace, embraced by the promise of God’s everlasting love.
“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4: 6-8
