FIRST METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH

Augusta, Georgia
Reverend Enoch Ward, Jr. - Officiating
PHYLLIS LEVERN SINGFIELD was born to the late Florence
and Divellie Singfield on October 18, 1940. She entered into
rest on August 14, 2016 at Doctors Hospital.
She was an only child and the apple of her parents eyes and to
them she could do no wrong.
Anyone who knew her, knew she had a very strong personality
and would speak her mind and meant what she said.
At an early age she was baptized at Antioch Baptist Church
under the leadership of Reverend Yancy. She was a musician
for the senior choir during her time there. Many years later
she transferred her membership to First Metropolitan Baptist
Church where she continued to use her talent as a musician.
Phyllis graduated from Immaculate Conception Academy
and Savannah State University. She united in matrimony
to Hawthorne I. Lee and to this union two sons were born,
Renuick Samuel Lee and Roddrick Belton Lee, who preceded
her in death. Phyllis was affiliated with several organizations
including: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, National Association of
University Women, member of the Lyndale Board of Directors
and former member of the Augusta Chorale just to name a few.
She leaves to cherish her memories: her devoted son, Renuick
Samuel Lee; grandson, Rashaud Samuel Lee; granddaughter,
Raven Breanna Lee; great granddaughter, Rylie Sa'mya Lee; and
a host of cousins, godchildren, friends and special classmates.

Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain, is a smile
I STILL WEAR AT THE SOUND OF YOUR DEAR NAME. THE PRECIOUS WORD
IS MOTHER, SHE WAS MY world you see, but now my heart is
BREAKING CAUSE SHES NO LONGER HERE WITH ME. GOD CHOSE HER FOR
HlS ANGEL TO WATCH ME FROM ABOVE, TO GUIDE ME AND ADVISE ME AND
KNOW THAT Im STILL LOVED. THE DAY SHE HAD TO LEAVE ME WHEN HER
LIFE ON EARTH WAS THROUGH, GOD HAD BETTER PLANS FOR HER, FOR
THIS, I SURELY KNEW. WHEN I THINK OF HER KIND HEART AND ALL THOSE
LOVING YEARS, MY MEMORIES SURROUND ME AND I CANT HOLD BACK THE
TEARS. She TRULY WAS MY BEST FRIEND, SOMEONE I COULD CONFIDE IN,
She ALWAYS HAD a TENDER TOUCH AND A WARM AND GENTLE GRIN. I
WANT TO THANK YOU MOTHER FOR TEACHING ME SO WELL, AND THOUGH
THE TIME HAS COME THAT I MUST BID YOU THIS FAREWELL. ILL REMEMBER
ALL YOUVE TAUGHT ME AND MAKE YOU PROUD YOULL SEE. THANK YOU
my Dear Mother for all the love you showed me. Although
youve LEFT THIS EARTH AND NOW youve TAKEN FLIGHT, I KNOW THAT
YOU ARE HERE WITH ME EACH MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT.
We, the family of the late Phyllis Singfield Lee, would like to thank
everyone for all acts of kindness shown during our time of grief. Special
thanks to Savannah State University, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.,
Lyndale School, Gentiva Home Health, and special neighbors and retired
members of the Augusta Youth Development Center.
