My amazing sister and Guatemala Peace Corps Volunteer (1985), Mary Feagin-Phillips, died suddenly from complications of cancer on January 8, 2013.

She cherished her work in the Peace Corps and lived by the creed of service and gratefully volunteered in her community. She will always be remembered for her loving kindness, generous heart, and caring grace.

Forever in our hearts.

Family can be reached through her sister at: txitaliana@hotmail.com
