It is with heartfelt sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Laurel Ann (Sissy) Phillips Austin who left us on Thursday, August 29. She touched the lives of all who knew her with endless warmth, infectious laughter, and unwavering kindness. One of the first female aerospace engineers for NASA and TRW Systems in Houston, Sissy made Jacksonville her home once again when she married Jeff Austin, Jr. on September 18, 1971. Sissy served as a member of the Austin Bank Leadership Team from 1972 to her death. She was Chief Lending Officer, Investment Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of Austin Bank and Austin Bancorp, Inc. She graduated from Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at SMU in 1977 and was a 2022 recipient of the Texas Bankers Association 50 Year Banker award. Sissy was an approachable and sincere mentor to many. As a trailblazer for progress, she shared her knowledge with fellow bankers and other advice seekers. A common phrase around the bank is: “If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way Sissy told you”. These words will always ring true, and many of us will always ask ourselves: “What would Sissy do”? Thank you, Sissy, for your love, patience, laughs, and all the good times. https://lnkd.in/d3TyE8Cu
