Phyllis Lovvorn Hubbard, loving wife and mother of three, peacefully departed this earthly life on February 25, 2020.
A delayed Christmas gift, she was born on December 29, 1930 to Ridley and Nell Lovvorn. She spent her entire youth in Bremen, Georgia, residing at the family farm on Buchanan Street. She enjoyed riding her pony, Tarbaby, roaming the fields, playing in the barn and walking to town to the movies. She was a girl scout and a member of the First Baptist Church and was active in Sunday School and the Girls Auxiliary. She accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized at Oak Lake. She began studying piano at age four under Myrle Rivers and continued her studies into college which gave her a great appreciation for classical music. While at Bremen High she was active in the Beta Club, the Booster Club, the Glee Club and Music Club. She was a member of the varsity basketball team and was editor of the yearbook. She graduated from Bremen High School in 1947 then attended Brenau Academy, Shorter College, and Auburn University, where she was a member of Phi Mu Sorority. She married Stanley Hubbard on November 3, 1951 and moved to Orlando, Florida for the first months of their marriage. They returned to Bremen to start their family.
As a servant leader at First Baptist Church, Phyllis served as a leader for YWAs, VBS, Sunday School teacher and Children’s Church leader. She loved and supported scouts and served as Cub Scout Den Mother for two Cub Packs as well as girl scout troop #117 leader for ten years with dear friends: Sue Carter, Myra Moody, and Nancy McEachern. She was appointed by Georgia Governor George Busbee to the position of leader of the Cub Scouts for the state of Georgia for five years then served as the Southeastern Regional representative of the Cub Scouts as well. She enjoyed long-standing membership in the Athenium Club and the Bremen Garden Club. As an avid reader and a life-long learner, Phyllis researched many topics and enjoyed teaching a variety of interesting subjects including: World Missions, antique dolls, seashells and sea life, piano duet recitals and special love for Native American history and culture. Dressed in full costume, she taught in many schools and civic clubs across the state of Georgia about native American Heritage
Phyllis loved her hometown and was very proud to help lead the Bremen Centennial Celebration in 1983. During the 1980’s and early 1990’s she realized her dream of opening and operating “Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard” a boutique gift shop in Bremen. In her later years she was excited to serve on the Bremen History Committee.
She was born on December 29, 1930 in Atlanta, Georgia to the late Ales Ridley Lovvorn and Nell Moseley Lovvorn.
