Lois Margaret Phillips, 91, formerly of Ridgely (Mineral County), Rowlesburg and Kingwood, passed away peacefully Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, at Dennett Road Manor Nursing Home in Oakland, Md.
Lois was born June 26, 1929, in Newburg, a daughter of the late Raymond O. and Eva Ashby Sanders.
She was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 50 years, John Howard Phillips; her son, James M. Phillips; sister, Doris Adams; and daughter-in-law, Martha Phillips.
Lois was a homemaker who enjoyed cooking, knitting, sewing and crocheting. When her sons were younger, she never missed any of their extra-curricular activities. She was always keeping herself busy, whether it was playing cards or dominoes with family, bowling or playing volleyball. While living in Sun City, Fla. or Aurora, she was very involved in her church. One of her favorite things was vacationing, especially at Harmon Cottages in Cabins (Grant County).
Lois is survived by sons, John Allen Phillips and wife Dianne, of Jane Lew, David Lynn Phillips and wife Donna, of Ridgeley, and Richard Paul Phillips and wife Jill, of Hope Mills, N.C.; and a daughter-in-law, Janet Lee Phillips, of Fort Ashby (Mineral County). She was also survived by her grandchildren, T.J. Phillips and wife Bridget, Beth Stone and husband Chris, Jim Phillips and wife Laura, Jill Ridgway and husband Cory, Jenna Smith and husband Scott, Danny Phillips and wife Asheton, Marc Phillips and wife Sydney, Rachel Philips, Levi Phillips, Josian Phillips and Zane Phillips, 14 great-grandchildren and four great- great-grandchildren.
A special thanks to Ron and Judy Paugh, of Aurora, as well as the rest of her Aurora family for taking such great care of her. Also a special thanks to the staff of Dennett Road Manor for the excellent care.
At her wishes, Lois will be cremated. A celebration of life service will be announced at a later date.
