Jane Arnold Phillips, 81, passed away Friday, November 11, 2016, at Landmark Nursing Home in Booneville. She was born January 25, 1935, to Harrison and Dora Arnold. Mrs. Phillips received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from The University of Mississippi. She remained a loyal Ole Miss Rebel fan all of her life. Mrs. Phillips worked in the field of education for over 40 years, with almost all of those years devoted to teaching four and five-year-olds. She has impacted hundreds of young lives in the course of her career, which started with a private kindergarten in the living room of her home and ended with a number of years in the public school arena at Thrasher Elementary School. Mrs. Phillips was devoted to her Lord and her church family, and she spent many years teaching her beloved Rebekah Sunday School Class. She was a member of the Natchez Trace Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and thoroughly enjoyed researching her family's history. Mrs. Phillips enjoyed reading, sewing and crafting, crossword puzzles, and birdwatching, but the loves of her life were her five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She spent countless hours following all of their many activities and praying them through each day.
