Stacey “Nina” Lynn Phillips, age 53, of North Baltimore, passed away on March 1, 2024. She was born July 13, 1970, to Chester and Shirley Paul.
The World’s Greatest “Nina” valued her family and her friends deeply. Her grandbabies were her entire world. Although she wasn’t dealt the finest hand, she learned how to excel at playing the hand she was dealt, and she was the strongest woman you could ever meet. Her positive attitude, huge heart, laughter, resilience, and mental prowess is what will be passed down through generations. What she didn’t know, she was eager to learn by earning numerous degrees and certifications. She loved to share her knowledge with everyone around her. She was our “fixer”. She was a coffee enthusiast with a fierce soul. She’d give you her shirt off her back but also negotiate a shirt off a salesman’s back.
We love you MUCHO MAS!!!
