It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister Doris Marie Phillips, 66, on September 2, 2024. Doris was born in Goldsboro, NC on March 2, 1958 and was the daughter of Charles Ray Best, Sr. and Doris Pierce.
Doris was the embodiment of kindness, generosity, and had a zest for life that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She will forever be remembered for the way she lived her life – with a sweet smile, a generous spirit, and a spunky attitude. May she rest in peace knowing she is deeply loved and will be dearly missed always.
She will be joining her beloved late husband, Richard Phillips, with whom she shared many beautiful years of adoration and companionship. Doris is survived by her mother, Doris Best; her brothers, Charles R. Best, Jr, Michael Best (Cindy), Timothy Best (Angela); her sisters, Brenda K. Best, Nancy B. Murdock (Dennis), Beverly B. Boger (Bobby); and numerous nephews and nieces. Doris also leaves behind her cat Puff, who was more like family to her than a pet.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 7, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Bunch-Johnson Funeral Home. Funeral services will begin at 3:00 p.m. with Pastor Larry Duffer officiating. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Statesville, NC.
