Flossie Phillips Obituary

Flossie Phillips, a long-time Carmichael resident who brought happiness to the lives of almost everyone who knew her, passed away on June 5th, at 94. Born in Virginia, Flossie spent her early years in San Francisco, where she began an art career, married her husband Fran, and had two children - Gary and Kathy. She is remembered for her California landscapes, for her stories of world travel, and for almost always remembering to turn off the oven when the turkey was done. She is survived by her daughter, grandchildren Max and Morgan Phillips, and by memories of her gentle smile that will linger for some time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests compassion and understanding for the elderly, who sometimes may leave us in spirit before their appointed hour.

She always liked to argue with my dad about politics. Showed us a great time when we visited her in 2000.

Dearest Kathy--my dear friend how sad I was to hear of Flossie's passing, and know what a faithful daughter and true you were to her to the very last minute of her breath. She enjoyed a full life filled with love, joy and sadness, too but colored by her travels and her art. Her art endures in my home bringing some of her vitality and talent to my life, too. However, I shall always think of Flossie in terms of her strength and survival as seen by her playing bridge almost to the end--oh! I would have loved to hear those ladies bidding-what fun they had! Flossie was so fortunate to have you at her side loving her to the end, she was never alone always bathed in a daughter's love. Free spirit that she was lives on in memory, in her fine art and in your heart. Gone but not forgotten.

Dear Kathy, My deepest condolences to you. I love the work I have of Flossie's hanging in my house and am so thankful to her for having had such a wonderful daughter who is so special to me. May you live happily in her memory with comfort that she lived a long and full life and is now reunited with your dad. All my love, Nicole

Thinking of you Kathy - I have a painting in my hallway your mom gave to mine, long ago when they were pink ladies together at Mercy San Juan Hospital. It's a painting of seagulls and I know she is flying free and high!
