Obituary for Mevis Elizabeth Phillips
Mevis Elizabeth Phillips, age 86, passed away October 14, 2012 at the St. Luke Extended Care of Ronan, MT. Mevis was born June 10, 1926 in Memphis, TN., to Lynnette Erma Johnson Bradley Rodgers Lund and Levi Alley Rodgers. She lived and was educated in Memphis. She later moved to Montana to be near her mother.
She met and married William (Bill) Edward Phillips of Slones, MT. They had 65 wonderful years together. They had three children, Billy Arlene (Buz) Learn of Ronan, Betty Jane Adams of Post Creek, and Douglas Edward (Mary) Phillips of Pablo. She was grandmother to Waynet, Wayne, and Levi Learn; Dusten and Billy Jole Phillips; Tonya Lynn, Jamie, Pat, Jack, Eli, and Cody; great-grandmother to Justine, Miranda, and Whitnee Green; Shelby and Canyon James Learn; great great-grandmother to Leticia and Emma Leon.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Mary Frank Rasmussen and Rozella Smith; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and nephews.
She was a true southern bell. She was a loving Christian wife and mother. She loved to smile, give hugs, and make everyone happy. She enjoyed art, painting, drawing, wood carving, gardening, loved animals, and being a homemaker. Everything she touched she made beautiful. You would never go away from her home hungry and you always knew you were welcome back. Mevis worked hard alongside her husband Bill at logging, ranching, and hunting camps. She was always cooking great food for everyone. She always gave a helping hand and had a giving heart. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Mevis was a Jehovah Witness of the South Congregation of Polson, MT. She was true to the bible teaching to the end.
Sorry we are too sad to have services for her now. Mevis and Bill have been cremated and so we will have a spring memorial service and luncheon to be announced at a later date. We send our thanks and love to all of those who loved and helped our family in the loss of Mevis and Bill Phillips.
