Phyllis Ruth Pierce
April 5, 1926 – June 17, 2016

Phyllis passed away peacefully in Santa Barbara on Friday, June 17, 2016. She was 90 years old. Phyllis was raised in San Luis Obispo, California where she met and married her husband Don Ray and shortly after moved to Santa Barbara.

She received her teaching credential from UCSB and was a local history teacher at Dos Pueblos High School for 20 years.

Phyllis loved the Lord Jesus, she and Don Ray were active members of Living Faith Church. In addition, they had a love for travel, and made several trips all over the United States and World, including the Holy Land. In earlier years she enjoyed backpacking, cross-country skiing, hosting large family gatherings, and spending time at their cabin near Shaver Lake, CA.

Phyllis is survived by her beloved husband Don Ray Pierce of 68 years and their four children: Robin Lee Hamer, Don Ray Pierce Jr, Robert Pierce, and Diane Rae. Her 14 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren also survive her.

We would like to acknowledge the wonderful and dedicated staff at Serenity House / Hospice who took amazing care of her during these last few months.

A funeral and private Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2016.
