Rebecca Marie Phillips, age 19, of Bainbridge Island, died Aug. 20 in an automobile accident.
She was born June 17, 1985, in Malone, N.Y., to Robert and Sheila Phillips.
She was “the typical, All-American girl,” from climbing trees and fishing to make-up and fashion.
In her early years, she enjoyed music and playing baseball and soccer. As she grew older, she developed interests in dance, writing, reading, snowboarding, poetry, skiing, hockey and cooking.
She danced with the Swinging Hepcats and performed with that troupe during a trip to Nicaragua several years ago.
She was working on her degree in cosmetology; she had attended West Sound Academy and planned to continue her education at Olympic College this fall.
She is survived by her parents; her brothers Keith, Eryn and Israel, and sister Roxanne.
Services were Aug. 23.
