Deborah Gayle Phillips

Hard to believe it's been a year since your family and friends have held your hand or spoken with you. Family thinks of you every day and smile at the things you would say to them. Now don't worry about us here, we will share again soon.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Deborah's smile, laughter and critical thinking will be greatly missed. Now we need to share the light she taught us to find. Miss You

I had the time wrong and missed it. I really wanted an opportunity to show how much she meant to me. She paced me in a race once and let me finish ahead of her. Then I paced her after she has health problems. I never imagined pacing her because she was a total rock star. She will be sorely misssd. Kim Jarrett UMKC

Deborah was a wonderful sister in law and a beautiful, caring person. I will always remember in the winter when the family came to visit, she would sit by the fireplace to keep warm the entire time . She was always cold, even with four layers of clothing on. She lived for the Lord and spent her life glorifying Him and setting an example for others. I miss her and I will always love her.

She showed such humility I had no idea she was this accomplished and active in so many ways. An admirable witness for Christ and contributor to the lives of people she touched. I always enjoyed seeing Deborah wherever I encountered her. Quite glad to have known her.

Dear Jeremiah and family, I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved grandmother. In this difficult time, I want to express my gratitude for the unwavering support and the immense love your family consistently shares with our school community. The size of your hearts is truly touching, and it's evident that your familial bond is the source of such warmth. May you find solace in the memories of your grandmother's faithfulness and loyalty, as her legacy continues to inspire...

Deborah was such a sweet soul. I enjoyed knowing her at Nall. Prayers and my condolences to the family.

Deborah was not only a cousin. She was a faithful friend. She and I shared information on unpopular topics. She and Darol came here on their first vacation after retirement, planning to spend a few relaxing days. But my husband was in hospital with a brain bleed and needed someone there 24/7. Darol took the 6 a.m. shift and I was able to spend afternoons with my husband. When I came in the door at 6 Deborah had a wonderful meal ready for us to enjoy together. They stayed about 10 days...
