Lou Phillips Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on December 13, 1950, in East Tennessee. Throughout her life, Lou was known for her deep devotion to caring for others. She found great joy in maintaining a warm and welcoming home and took pride in her love of cleaning and nurturing those around her. Her marriage to Ronnie Phillips was a source of profound happiness; their bond remained strong until his death in 2018.
Lou was preceded in death by her beloved husband Ronnie Phillips; her mother-in-law Helen Phillips; father and mother: Hugh Gilbert and Ruth Abernathy, two sisters Ann and Elaine Abernathy, and two half-brothers Gibb and Pete Abernathy. Her memory lives on through the family members who cherished her: sister-in-law and husband Barbara and Dale Miller; nephew Brian Miller; niece and husband Mary and Gary Scruggs; great-nieces and their husbands Sandi and Tyler Renner, Nikki and Aaron Sutherland, Lisel Soronen; and great-nephews Zach Scruggs and fiance Haili Murray, Josh Dean, and Gary Ethan Scruggs.
A graveside service to honor Lou's life will be held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Bethesda Cumberland Presbyterian Church, located at 16340 Kingsport Hwy, Fall Branch, Tennessee 37656. The service will be a small gathering of family members who loved her dearly.
May Lou's memory bring comfort to all who knew her.
