She attended Nevada High School where she graduated valedictorian of her class at the age of 16 and went on to graduate from Texas State College for Women (now Texas Women’s University) in Denton with a BBA in Accounting and Education in 1948. She worked for Cotton Merchants for most of her life, Starke Taylor & Sons, Volkart Taylor Cooper, Volkart and finally Reinhart before retiring as the Assistant Treasurer and Controller. She was best known for her love and talent for cooking, her hard work ethic and always reaching out to help others. She is preceded in death by her loving husband Raymond E.

She is survived by her brother, Deckard Pharr and spouse Peggy Pharr, both of Nevada, TX; sister, Janey Pharr Way Mobley and spouse John Mobley, both of Nevada, TX; son and daughter in law, Christopher & Aimee Page of Garland, TX; daughter and son in law, Laura & John Goodson of Frisco, TX; grandchildren, Taylor Page of San Diego, CA; Rachel Goodson and Scott Goodson, both of Frisco, TX; her step grandchildren Jessica Tipton Page and spouse Jeff Page both of Midlothian, TX and Tyler Tipton of Austin, TX; and too many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews to name that she cherished greatly. She was loved by all who knew her and will be missed beyond measure. Heaven has a new angel. In keeping with her generous spirit, in lieu of flowers, you may choose to give a donation in her name to her church, Transformation Anglican Church, whose staff and congregation were there for her these last few years. They own land to build a church but are in need of funds for the building. We feel she would have loved that her life contributed to something permanent that meant so much to her.
