Six Mile

With profound sadness, we announce that Barbara “Barbie” Chambers Phillips, beloved wife and daughter, passed away on November 3, 2025, surrounded by family. Born to Jim and Karen Chambers, Barbie was an active, happy, and strong-willed girl who was a co-leader in Girl Scouts with her mom for ten years. While in high school, she participated in several school organizations as an honor student. Upon graduation, she attended college at NC State, where she graduated in 1995 with two degrees. She started her career as a consultant with Price-Waterhouse before returning home to use her expertise to help and grow the family business, Chambers Flintlocks. Upon her father’s retirement, Barbie became owner and president of the business. Barbie married Trint in 2013 and was a loving and devoted wife. She was always accompanied by Pippin, her and Trint’s dog, whom she doted over. She enjoyed scuba diving, photography, cooking, college football, hunting, raising orchids, helping others, and most importantly, sharing her faith in Jesus. Barbie never met a stranger and was loved by everyone who met her. Barbie continued participating in many organizations as an adult, including past board member of the National Muzzleloading Rifle Association, Vice President and dedicated membership committee member of the Contemporary Longrifle Association, instructor for Women on Target, treasurer for the WNC Friends of the NRA, and former assistant leader with Crosstrail Outfitters. Barbie is survived by her husband of 12 years, Trint, and her parents, Jim and Karen. A celebration of life will be held for Barbie at the Seneca Presbyterian Church in Seneca, SC, on December 6, 2025, at 2:00 pm.

Eternal rest grant unto Barbie, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Hello everyone, this is Trint on behalf of Barbie. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you on November 3 while surrounded by her loved ones Barbie was embraced by Jesus and is now resting in her eternal home. Anyone who knows her knows how much she has fought to overcome everything she has faced and she did it with her faith, a smile, and never quit mentality. She has been the most loving and perfect wife and I am beyond blessed that God placed her by my side. Her parents and I are beyond heartbroken but know we will be reunited with her. To know her was to love her and she has touched so many people throughout her life. Her hope for everyone was that they have a relationship with Christ and she would encourage us to strengthen that during this time. We will hold a celebration of life soon and I will post those details here when the date and location are confirmed. I will be keeping her Facebook open and encourage anyone who wants to share stories and memories to please do so. Her parents and I appreciate everyone’s prayers and understanding as we navigate this difficult time.
