Elizabeth Parris-Phearse

Elizabeth Parris-Phearse, 54 of Killeen, a bright, vibrant, beautiful soul passed away on December 31, 2023.

Elizabeth, the daughter of Kenneth Parris and Gladys Toussaint, was born on December 28, 1969 in
Montreal, QC, she was known for her outgoing and fun personality. She always found happiness in
serving others. Elizabeth worked in hospitality before she found her passion in working as a patient care coordinator and office manager for Dr. Charles Day at Aesthetic Surgery Associates in Harker Heights, she truly loved her job.

One of Elizabeth’s proudest accomplishments was marrying the love of her life, Joe Deray Phearse, on
December 13, 2014 in Montreal, QC. They shared nine wonderful years together as a married couple
filled with love and joy.

Elizabeth had passion for interior design, fashion and making the world more beautiful. Her creativity
and eye for detail were evident in everything she touched. She brought warmth and elegance to the
spaces around her and inspired others to find beauty in their surroundings.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth’s beautiful journey, though she fought bravely against this disease until the
very end with unwavering strength and determination, was cut short due to the return of her cancer.
Elizabeth was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Parris and her mother, Gladys Toussaint. While
we mourn her loss deeply, we must remember the love and light she brought into our lives.

compassionate soul who brightened every room she entered.
