SOME PEOPLE might tend to lose a little concentration when pastors drone on with their sermons. But not Richelle Phillips. She actually made notes and dissected the messages.
"She found a way to make every message her very own," said her husband, James Phillips.
That was Richelle Phillips. She had an analytical mind to go with the compassion that marked a life of service to children, young people in trouble and elderly folks who needed a lift.
Richelle F. Phillips, a social worker, church leader and devoted mother, died Oct 3 of breast cancer. She was 59 and lived in Germantown.
