Mrs. Phyllis Hargett Eddinger, age 86 of Kannapolis passed away on Sunday, January 19, 2019 at Liberty Commons after a period of declining health. Her loving family surrounded her at the time of her death. Phyllis was born April 16, 1933 to the late Samuel Hargett, Sr. and Grace Ballard Hargett. Her husband of 64 years, Louis Carl Eddinger also preceded her in death along with her brother, Sam Hargett, Jr. and her sister, Evelyn Kay Hargett. Phyllis was a graduate of Cannon High School where she played basketball. After graduation, she spent her career as a teacher’s assistant utilizing her many God given talents. Phyllis attended Liberty Baptist Church.
In her younger years after losing her father at an early age, she was the caregiver for her older special needs sister while her mother worked to support their family. Phyllis was an exceptional mother and excelled in most anything she attempted. She was an expert seamstress and enjoyed making her family’s clothing. She was very “craftie” and a wonderful artisan who could do almost anything. During her teacher’s assistant days, you could see her work represented in most all of the bulletin boards around the school and other art projects that were requested of her. She had a gift for calligraphy, had a wonderful card ministry, sending cards for birthdays and many other special occasions, and was very well known for her talent. Phyllis loved college basketball and was an avid Carolina Tarheel fan. But most of all, she loved her family and raised her children well.
Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Barry Eddinger (Teresa) and her daughter, Amy Burris (Doug). She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Elizabeth Marlowe (Kip), Candice Euart (Jason), Alana Plott (Jim), Joshua Dale Eddinger (Tiffany) and Amanda Witherspoon (Noah), along with six great-grandchildren.
