Phyllis Elizabeth Ann Bagwell, 90, of Mooresville, was granted eternal rest on Monday, March 24, 2025 at the Brownsburg Meadows. She is now free of the confinements of dementia which she has battled for over ten years. On May 21, 1934, she was born to Harold and Helen King in the city of St. John on the island of Newfoundland in Canada.

Phyllis dedicated her life caring for others. She cared for her family as a dedicated homemaker. Always putting the needs of others before her own, as mothers often do. She was blessed with a beautiful family marrying the love of her life, Dale Thomas Bagwell, on November 23rd, 1966. The two had enjoyed nearly 47 years of marriage before his passing on July 25, 2013

Aside from her own family, she was also active in her church and community. Many will remember Phyllis from her charitable work. Her compassion, generosity, and kindness were central to the many benevolent activities she engaged in. She truly embodied what it meant to be a servant and follower of Jesus Christ. Never seeking glory for herself, she simply wanted to help those around her and give glory to her Heavenly Father. Phyllis never turned down an opportunity to assist others, which was one of her greatest passions. The best years of her life were defined by her service to the poor, elderly, and disabled. She could always be counted on to volunteer, no matter what the task.

She was a member of the Mooresville Church of God, President of the Women’s Group, active leader with Churches in Mission, volunteer for Meals on Wheels, volunteer at the Senior Center, a volunteer at Camp Challenge, and more. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening and looking for new recipes to cook. Always seeking to grow in her faith, she valued Bible study and prayer time.

Phyllis also enjoyed caring for her many grandchildren, whom she loved more than life itself. Parents never heard the word “no” when it came to watching the grandbabies! Other enjoyable activities for her included mending and sewing clothing, bargain shopping, watching the birds on her deck overlooking the lake with her husband Dale, and caring for the homes that Dale designed and built with his own hands for her over their many years together. She also had a peculiar affinity for Canadian Geese, for some mysterious reason.

Friends and relatives, do not be sad at her passing. She suffers no more, and we are grateful. Phyllis would not want you to be sad on her account. Be happy for her as she enters her new world. She smiles.

Phyllis will forever be remembered by her family and friends including her children, Arthur Wood of Indianapolis; Arlana Wood of Indianapolis and Krystal (Howard) Simmons of Spotsylvania, Virginia; Stephen (Marcia) Bagwell of Indianapolis; sister, Emma Butler of Canada; daughter-in-law Sandra (Wood) Calvert; 7 grandchildren: Ashley Wood, Jimmy (Maggie) Farmer, Jeremy (Beth) Farmer, Megan Wood, Nelson Wood, Cassie (Max) Wood, Stephen J. Bagwell, 8 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Helen King; husband, Dale Bagwell; son, Max O. Wood Jr; and brother, Jim King.
