Marsha Jane McDevitt Phillips

A great behavioral specialist who was part of a group of six specialists. Ronnie, Cheryl, Vickie, Diana, Marsha and myself. We shared our ideas as well as our personal lives with each other. Marsha faced her diagnosis without fear, sharing her ideas for her cremation with laughter. She was an amazing woman, intelligent, kind, caring and wise. We miss you Marsha and would like to thank her family for sharing her with us. Marsha is resting well in the palm of God´s hands. Sleep well.

Marsha was very, very important to me and my family. She was our family when we lived in Oakland City! I will never forget her and all of our laughs and memories! I will miss her dearly.

Marsha , when I was a little girl , I thought you were the coolest thing ever, because you were a fun-loving gum-chewing teenager who was always laughing and yakking with your friends on the bus - and you wrote messages on your vanity mirror in lipstick !! It turns out I was right. You actually were the coolest thing ever. You were the Real Thing your entire life , and you were Beautiful. I love you Sweet Cousin. We all do.

Where do I begin? Marsha was just an amazing woman, mother, meme, and friend. Everyone she came into contact with was beyond blessed. She loved everyone with her whole heart. To Randa, Christopher, Nathan, all her amazing grandkids and all of her family, you were as lucky to have her as she was to have all of you. She left quite an impact and will be greatly missed. Love you forever, Marsha! ❤

We send our sincere condolences to all Marsha's family. It seems like I've always known Marsha. I first met her when I was young, and our families visited each other. She was my youngest sister's age and always so sweet and kind. Her smile would light up a room. We often connected when I was at OCC and worked at Johnson's Restaurant. She was such a fighter and always had a positive attitude that was so inspiring. This very-special MeMe will live forever in our hearts.

Another case mgr here who worked with your mom just a few short years but we bonded from the get go! I am a “meme” too so I had to get a bag with grandkid pics on it just like hers!! She helped me grieve over another CM lost to ovarian cancer shortly after your mom was diagnosed. Her care and concern for our “consumers” was outstanding and really made me step up to do my job better too!! It was a sad day for me when she gave her caseload over into Ronnie Foxes capable hands only because...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
