Barbara Phillips Obituary

Barbara (Wilson) Gregory Phillips
Evansville, Ind.
Barbara Phillips, 77, of Evansville, passed away Saturday, April 6, 2013, at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mark and Nancy Gregory Strouse.
She was an active member of Parke Memorial Presbyterian Church in Evansville, where her late husband, Ron Phillips, was a long-time member and Elder.
Barbara was the happiest while doing something for someone else. She was always the ultimate caregiver. She taught Sunday School, Bible School and looked for any excuse to throw a party for family and friends.
Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Gregory of 41 years and Ron Phillips of 10 years. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Lori Gregory Gary, in 2006; her son, Tony Kirtz in 2010; and a step-daughter, Pam Phillips in 2005.
She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Gregory Strouse and her husband, Mark, of Henderson, Ky.; stepson, Kenny Phillips and his wife, Debbie, of Poseyville, Ind.; two sisters, Betty Abbott, of Henderson, Ky., and Patty Houchens and her husband, Roy, of Hopkinsville, Ky.; two brothers, Don Wilson and his wife, Susan, of Newburgh, Ind., and Mike Wilson and his wife, Diane, of Evansville; nine grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews.
Services will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at Alexander North Chapel, officiated by The Reverend Dr. Ray Parker, with entombment in Fairmont Cemetery in Henderson, KY. Friends may visit Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday from 11 a.m. until service time at the funeral home.
We wish to express our extreme gratitude to all the nurses and caregivers at St. Anthony's Hospice that stepped in and did everything to make Barbara's journey as comfortable as possible. We would have been lost without them. Thank you.
