Obituary for Tina Bell Phillips

Tina Bell  Phillips
"PRAISE JESUS"

On Friday, June 17, 2016, Tina Phillips of Salem, Va., was taken into Glory by her Sweet Jesus.

Tina was a loving wife, a caring mother, a spoiling grandma and mawmaw, and a compassionate friend. She loved Jesus more than life and made sure all those she came in contact with knew she loved them but that "Jesus loves you more". She was a loving member of Roanoke First Church of the Nazarene and a faithful friend of Catawba Valley Baptist Church. Her favorite phrase and song were "Praise Jesus!" and "Jesus Loves Me". She found great comfort and joy in their truth! Words don't adequately describe the uniqueness and the love, the servant's heart, or the grace that would characterize this precious woman. She showed her family and so many others the love of Jesus.

She was preceded in death by her father, William Nelson Bell; mother, Elizabeth Ann Parcel; brother, Everett Vance Parcel; and sister, Karen Sue Bell.

Tina is survived by her husband of 35 years, David Phillips; her 7 kids and their spouses, Kristy Bell, Jennifer and Steven Crowder, Reggie and Ashley Phillips, Dusty and Shiloh Phillips, Stevie and Nick Washok, Logan Phillips, and Legacie Phillips; 8 grandbabies, Jacob, Caleb, and Corban Crowder, Faith Dolin, Hudson and Sawyer Phillips, and Levi and Luci Phillips; 3 sisters, Sharon Bowman, Debbie and Miguel Hernandez, and Susie Parcell; 3 brothers, Alan and Betty Musser, Gary Musser, and Kenneth Stanley; her sister-in-law, best friend, and caregiver, Jean Harlow and husband, Eddie; brother-in-law, Charles and Peggy Phillips; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and many dear friends.

The family would like to thank the great hospital staffs of RMH, UVA Medical Center, Sheltering Arms, Good Samaritan Hospice, and VCU Medical Center.
