Phillip Drummond "Phil" Bagwell

Phillip Drummond Bagwell was born on March 27, 1934, in Accomack County, Virginia, to Coley and Beatrice Bagwell. He was called to eternal rest Saturday, March 30, 2024, while at home with loved ones by his side.
Phillip was educated in the Accomack County Public School system. He accepted Christ and joined Gaskins Chapel AME Church at a young age. He proudly served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged earning the Good Conduct medal.
Phillip married the love of his life, Rosa Walker, on May 1, 1960, in Maryland. They shared many years of marital bliss and five children together. Phillip and Rosa loved their family and opened their home to their sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews as a haven for many holiday gatherings and summer vacations.
Phillip was well respected and liked in his community. He worked at Boggs Water and Sewage for more than 40 years to support his family. He was social with everyone whether he knew them or not. Phillip enjoyed going to the racetrack in Ocean Downs and relaxing in his truck at Doughty's Market. Even though we've lost a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, God has gained an angel.
Phillip was predeceased by his parents, Coley and Beatrice Bagwell; wife, Rosa Bagwell; siblings, Betty Upshur and Roscoe Bagwell.
Phillip is survived by his two sons and three daughters, Edward Walker of Onancock, VA, Dianne Strand (Larry) of Bloxom, VA, Phillip Bagwell Sr. of Yale, VA, Elsie Giddens of Onancock, VA, and Marian Bagwell-Moore (Kevin) of Fayetteville, NC.
His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Deametrious Bagwell, Sr. (Toni), LaTanya Major (Earl), April Bagwell, Larry Strand, Jr., Phillip Bagwell, Jr., Kristopher Bagwell, LaDonna Griffin (Joshua), Devion Richardson, Alexis Moore, and Asa Moore; his great-grandchildren, Devin Wesells, Jasmine Bagwell, Kevarius Howard, Deametrious Bagwell, Jr., Isaiah Bagwell, MóNee Strand, Dorien Bagwell, Arielle Bagwell-Smith, Elizabeth Griffin, and Jeremiah Griffin; and two great, great-grandchildren, Devion Wesells and Keylan Howard.
Memories of Phillip's childhood ages will continue to be shared by his brothers and sisters, Pauline Williams of Dallas, TX, Rosetta Smith of Philadelphia, PA, Herbert Bagwell of Philadelphia, PA, and Annie Boston of Catonsville, MD.
Laughter and special memories will always be remembered by his three sisters-in-law, Daisy Fletcher, Juanita Hamilton, and Ruth Davis, all of Paterson, NJ; daughter-in-law, Millie Bagwell; niece, Sheila Walker; special friends, Bernice White, Pete Toppin, George Ames, and George Webb; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
