Michelle N

Phillips

Michelle Nichole Phillips was born to Christal Terry and the late William Earl Phillips Sr. in Teaneck, NJ, on May 24th, 1987. She was an honorary Girl Scouts member in her youth and part of her high school choir with a keen interest in pottery and art. She graduated from Bergenfield High School in 2005.

Better known as "Chelle", she was full of joy, smiles, and giggles everywhere she went. Her nurturing and empathetic spirit was always so pleasant to be around. One of Michelle's hobbies was a love of collecting cosmetics, perfumes, hard-to-find colors of nail polish, and anything to make her smell, look, and feel better. One thing she always made sure of was that her nails were kept in top-tier condition.

Her love for animals throughout life not only comforted her but got her a job working in a veterinarian's office. She learned how to better take care of her pets and certainly always made sure her pets had treats and snacks.

Michelle was a loving, nurturing sister, supportive friend, cousin, and a good-hearted person to be around. She leaves behind her mother; Christal Terry, step-father; James Taylor, her of brothers; Craig and William Phillips, her sisters; Letisha and Chelliah Phillips, her uncle; Warren Phillips, her godmother Kathy Wright-Austin & Arno Austin, and her best of friends Sheina Serrano-Sookdeo, Samantha Parrish, Melissa Cham-Racquelle, and many others who loved and treasured her spirit.
