Sue Sealy Phillips was born on November 14, 1937 in Epps, LA. She passed into Heavenly peace on Sunday, Aprl 28, 2024. A memorial service will be held at Calvary Baptist Church on Wednesday, May 01, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Reverend Will McGee officiating, and Norwood-Wyatt directing. Family will receive friends from one hour prior to service at the church. Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Mr./Mrs. A.F. Sealy, and 5 brothers and sisters, George Sealy, Alleen S. Henson, Cecil Sealy, Flora S. McCracken, Mary S. South. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church for 63 years. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She gave of herself and was the self-appointed overseer of Calvary's shut-in population. She made herself available to arrange beautiful flowers for many who were hurting, as well as her church family. She worked at First Alabama Bank for 23 years, and served on the Teller Committee of Calvary for many, many years. Hebrews 13:2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have unwittingly entertained angels... Her spiritual gift was entertaining, and she did so meticulously. She opened her's and Jim's lake home to many, many college students and loved them, 'adopting' many, continuing relationships for years, to enjoy their children as well. She loved to travel, and as a result had very close friends in Germany that she and Jim share their lives with to this day. As a grandparent, she was unrivaled. Spoiling her littles was her joy! Breakfast in bed, trips to Disney, and jet skis were a few of the memories that they will all cherish. 

She is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, James P. Phillips. Her sons, Gary L Phillips (Martha) Tuscaloosa, AL James P. Phillips, Jr. (Sheila) Baton Rouge, LA Grandchildren, Mary Phillips Bearden (Nick) Tuscaloosa, AL Lance F.
