Phyllis Marie Price
92, Minneapolis, Minn.
Honoring her wishes, graveside services were held at 1 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 20, 2021, in Pine Grove United Pentecostal Church Cemetery in the Darbun community for Phyllis Marie Price, 92, Minneapolis, Minn., who died peacefully on Thursday, Dec. 9, at home. Pastors Rob and Erin Grant officiated at the services.
She was born on May 30, 1929, in Columbia. Those who knew her would attest to her determined and hard-working character, her fierce loyalty and her honesty. One never had to guess what she was thinking. She loved traveling, gardening and was a collector of Thanksgiving turkey platters and Victorian Head Vases. Her impeccable ability to find them within minutes of entering an antique shop astonished everyone. She was an active member of First United Methodist Church where she was a member of the XYZ Club, Women's Circle and Dantin-Ford Sunday School Class. Of note, she was an active member of the First Baptist Church Ball Club where she loved playing dominoes and going on club trips. She was always one to bring humor to the hours on the trip bus. Following her relocation to Minneapolis, she loved "road trips" and there is not a region of Minnesota that she has not visited. She enjoyed international trips with her daughter, Julia, but her favorite was her multiple trips to Lancaster County, Penn., and to the July 4th Parade on Madeline Island. She quickly adapted to life in Minneapolis and was loved by her neighborhood. Weather permitting, she could be found on the screen porch chatting to everyone who came by. She gave southern language lessons on request.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Harvey Julious Price; son, Michael Vance Price; parents, Sardis Gomer and Ethel May (Nolen) Wallace, and brother, James Nolen Wallace.
Survivors include her daughters, Julia K Price of Minneapolis, Minn., and Vickie M. Price of Columbia; siblings, Shirley Grace, Elizabeth Taylor, Gomer Wallace Jr., Jane Wallace Barr and Wanda Holmes; daughter-in-law, Judy Alexander Price; granddaughters, Johna Necaise (Kyle) and Amanda Barker; great-grandchildren, Emily and Logan Buchanan, Colton Broom and Levi Necaise, and multiple nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the First United Methodist Church Columbia or the First Baptist Church Ball Club.
