Phyllis P. Newcomb

Although I was quite small, I remember the booths in your resort and eating popcorn with milk. Such fond memories, we all had such fun there. Also I will never forget the last lunch we shared, Judy, with my Mom and Phyl. I will forever hold it in my heart. Your Mom touched a lot of lives, I am blessed to have known her. Cindy Weyenberg

Phyllis and Fred were members of our Forum Sunday School class at Chamblee 1st UMC when they lived in Atlanta. We loved them dearly and saw them often. I admired the gorgeous gardenias in their yard on one visit and they grew a cutting and gave it to us. It grew to a beautiful bush. When we downsized and moved 11 years ago, my husband dug it up and replanted it at our current home. It is now a huge and beautiful bush and we are always reminded of our beautiful friends, Phyllis and Fred.

Phyllis and her husband, Fred, were a wonderful part of the congregation at Chamblee First UMC in Chamblee (Atlanta), GA. They were both strong leaders, warm and caring friends, and good Christians with servant hearts. Those of us who knew the Newcombs were sad when Fred died and then were sad to see Phyllis move, although we knew that was best for her and her family. What I want Phyllis's family to know is that she was dearly loved and touched many lives and hearts here in Georgia. I pray that God's gift of memories will be a blessing to each one in the family and that those cherished memories will keep Phyllis forever alive in your hearts. She will certainly always have a special place in my heart. Ann Hammond

Knowing you, Judy, I'm not surprised to see messages that others found your Mother to be a dear person and good friend. You and your Mom look alike and share the same wonderful qualities. I know her death was expected but I remember that it felt so definite and still sad when my Mother died from the same condition. I know you will still be talking to her every day as you have done for a long time. She was lucky and apparently deserved to have your love and devotion. I hope you're doing well and I'll talk to you next week. Violet Moran

Phyllis was a very lovely lady and she will be missed a lot . The physical world will miss her smile, kindness & love, but the heavens have gained a new Angel. My Mother & Phyllis were dear friends, they belonged to the Forum Sunday School Class at Chamblee First United Methodist and worked many years together in the Chamblee Garden Club. Praying for the family during these difficult times.
