Rebekah J. Phillips, whose favorite thing to do was spend time with her family and friends, died last Monday morning in a car accident on her way to school.
Phillips, 17, of Stacy, died on impact after being struck from the side by a car running a red light. Phillips was a full-time PSEO student at the Cambridge Campus Community College and had high hopes of attending a four year university after graduation. Phillips was very involved in her church and enjoyed participating in the youth group there. Her sister said that after participating in a missions trip to Mexico this past summer that she dreamed of having the chance to return someday or to travel to other parts of the country for missions work as well.
Phillips mother said, “She always had a passion for helping people; all she wanted to do was make a difference in someone’s life.” Phillips enjoyed volunteering and helping at events for her church.
The visitation with the family will be held from 7 to 9 on Thursday, October 15 at Robert’s Family Funeral Home, 555 Centennial Drive, Forest Lake. The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 17 at Lakes Free Church, Olinda Trail, Lindstrom.
Phillips is survived by father Sylvester, mother Beverly, five brothers, three sisters, many other family and friends.
Great job. Simple and to the point. No unneeded fillers
ReplyDeleteyou live near Lindstrom MN? That is just east of where I grew up and I'm actually looking into having my wedding in Lindstrom. Have you ever been to Panola Valley Gardens?

ReplyDeleteMistakes:
• The name isn't Cambridge Campus Community College. It is the Cambridge Campus of Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
• Missing possessive apostrophe on Phillips' mother
• Should be Oct. 15, Oct. 17
Carissa - I've had friends get married at Panola Valley Gardens. It's a beautiful spot, and was well-organized (at least it was up to four years ago). I took photos at a wedding there, in fact. There were many, many gorgeous spots for photos. Try to set a date later in the year, as the flowers get prettier the later it is. In June, you'll pretty much just have hostas. I think the best part about the place is the gazebo.
