Margaret Trichell Phelps

A memorial service for Margaret Trichell Phelps, age 87 of Downsville, LA, will be held at 10:00 AM, Friday, July 3, 2026 at Mulhearn Memorial Park Mausoleum Chapel in Monroe, LA under the direction of Farrar Funeral Home.

Margaret will be remembered for the unwavering love she had for her family, who were the greatest joy and purpose of her life. Her patience, kindness, and generosity were unmatched; though she often had little to give, she never hesitated to share whatever she had with those she loved. She carried herself with grace and style, always beautifully dressed with her makeup carefully done, reflecting the pride she took in presenting herself with elegance. She found delight in collecting beautiful rings, jewelry, and treasured keepsakes, appreciating the beauty in life's little things. Nothing, however, brought her greater happiness than spending time with her family or seeing the milestones, memories, and smiles of those she loved through photographs shared on social media. Her warmth, selflessness, and enduring love leave a legacy that will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Phelps; parents, Allen and Rose Trichell; brother, Elsie Trichell; sisters, Estelle Hodge, Alice Saxton, Virginia Ann Schoolfield, and Bobby Trichel.

She is survived by her son, Randy Wall (Sue); daughter, Tammy Richardson (Vance); a number of step children; grandchildren, B.J. Alvis, Gage Alvis, Matthew Wall, Kristen Sabala, Van Richardson, Ashlea Nalley, and Lauren Townsend; great grandchildren, Trinity, Delaney, Reese, Sailor, Sutton , Jayden, Rylee, Lexi, Drake, Kylie, Ellie, and Jaxon; and a numerous other great grandchildren.
