Phyllis Moore
February 16, 2014
The Lord called Phyllis Ann Moore home on February 16, 2014 at 9:56 in the evening. She was born to Clyde and Almeria (Parrish) Moore on May 13, 1958 in Sanford, North Carolina. Phyllis married Victor Dale Kent on August 24, 1978. Phyllis was a fulltime wife, mother, grandmother and an Avon representative. She had an amazing sense of humor, a love for a good story and a passion to cook for anyone who would come by to visit. She will be remembered as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend with her charismatic, generous, and loving personality. She endeared herself in the hearts of the many lives she touched. In her final moments, she was surrounded by her family at the John Stoddard Cancer Research Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Her departure has left a huge whole in our hearts. We know Heaven is sweeter now than ever before and we will see her again soon.
She is survived by Victor Kent of Rockwell, IA; their children: Brian (Jenna) Kent, age 35, of Grimes, Iowa; Joshua (Sarah) Kent, age 32, of Urbandale, Iowa; Amber G. Kent, age 30, of Hammond, Indiana; Timothy (Heather) Kent, age 28, of Rockwell, Iowa; Jessica G. Kent, age 25, of Urbandale, Iowa; and Daniel A.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me" with tearful eyes I. Although I LOVED you dearly,I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the BEST. I will miss you Hunny. My prayers go to your family and Joe, I feel blessed to have known you.
