Born July 22, 1929, in Stanly County, Ree was the daughter of the late Lectie Poplin Harwood and D. Gilbert Harwood. Mrs. Phillips graduated Valedictorian from Millingport High School before completing her undergraduate at Catawba College. She went on to receive her Master’s Degree from UNC-Charlotte while teaching. Ree taught school for 30 years in North Carolina ending her career at Albemarle Junior High School. She was a lifetime member at Salem United Methodist Church where she was the organist for 15 years, taught Sunday school, was the early chairman of the 60+ club, and a longtime member of United Methodist Women where she received a special recognition pin. Ree established the Gilbert and Lectie Harwood Scholarship Fund in the early 1990’s and was the author of the book: History of Salem Church. The proceeds from the sale of the book were used to buy cabinets for the history room. Some of Mrs. Phillips favorite hobbies were reading, needlework, playing bridge, and putting together puzzles.

Phillips (Sandy) of Goose Creek, SC; grandchildren Gilbert A. Phillips, Paul T. Phillips, and Samuel J. Phillips all of OH; and step grandchild Savannah Monk. Mrs. Phillips is preceded in death by her husband James Alfred Phillips and brother D.G. Harwood, Jr.
