Deanna Phillips Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Deanna was a graduate of Brookville Area High School, Brookville, PA and later attended Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, where she earned her degree as a Registered Dental Assistant, and worked in the dental field for over 30 years.
Dee met the love of her life, Chuck, in high school and they were married for an amazing 67 years before his passing in 2023. They were each other's best friends and had one of the greatest love stories. They were inseparable and their love was truly inspirational and unwavering. They loved traveling, playing golf, and engaging in competitive card games with families and friends.
Dee's greatest joy came from spending time with her family where she built a warm and welcoming home filled with love, laughter, and family traditions. Her holiday gatherings were eagerly anticipated by family, friends and especially her grandchildren. The more the merrier was the motto of their home. Dee and Chuck were their grandkids' biggest cheerleaders. They would travel any distance to watch their grandchildren's activities.
Dee was predeceased by her husband, Charles P. Phillips, Jr.; survived by her daughters and sons-in-law Shelley & Brian Berlin of Mechanicsburg, PA, Tammy & Steve Cihylik of Allentown, PA, Laurey & Jeff Sperring of Lantana, Texas; grandchildren, Michael & Emily Berlin, Anna Berlin & Andrew Zarinsky, Baylea Sperring & John Christich, Raleigh Sperring & Adrian Shodi; and great granddaughters Callan, Leni and Miller Shodi and Lucy Berlin.
While our painful sense of loss at Dee's passing is with us all, we are lifted by her spirit and knowing she is back in the arms of her loving husband. The special place she holds in our hearts will always be with us.
