Phyllis Taylor Rand
July 14, 1932 - November 14, 2016
Phyllis Taylor Rand, a native of Port Arthur, died
Sunday in Beaumont at age 84. She was member of the Class of 1950 at Thomas
Jefferson high school where she was in the Red Hussars drum and bugle
corps.
Phyllis was the daughter of Catherine Frensley and
Darcey Pierce Faircloth and the beloved step-daughter of Scott B. (Bennie)
Herrin. Also preceding her in death was her son, John Scott Eddy.
Between her years in Port Arthur and Beaumont,
Phyllis resided in Bryan. She was secretary to the Texas A&M athletic
director at one time and retired as office manager at Resources Research,
Inc. She was a former member of the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild and an
accomplished artist.
Survivors are her husband, Billy Tom Rand of
Beaumont and her brothers and their wives, Ray and Bonnie Faircloth, Darcey and
Cheryl Faircloth, and Terry and Sue Faircloth, all of Lufkin; stepchildren,
Dianna Rand Farrar, Scott Rand, and Mark Rand provided countless hours of
devoted care to Phyllis during her final illness.
Cherishing Phyllis more as an older sister than a
first cousin are Nancy Singleton Williams of Beaumont; Barbara Travis DeVillier
of Groves; Sue Travis Smith of Lake Limestone, and Marguerite Ciccosanti
Weatherall and Woodrow Mabry, both of The Woodlands.
At Phyllis’ request, a private committal was held at
Broussard’s Crematorium under the direction of Broussard’s, 1605 North Major
Drive, Beaumont.
