Beverly Jean Phillips

January 4, 1930 - January 27, 2021

Beverly Jean Phillips, age 91, died on January 27, 2021 in Orlando, FL. Beverly is survived by her children: Michael L Phillips, Mark P Phillips, Mathew R Phillips; her grandchildren: Jennifer, Gabrielle, Ryan, Ross, Rebekah, and Emma Caroline; her great-grandchildren: Sean, Keeghan, Tristin, Jacob, Averie, Oliver, and Maverick. She is preceded in death by her husband Jack L Phillips and her daughter Sandra Santangelo. Beverly was born on January 4, 1930 in Waterloo, Iowa to parents Harold L Faulkner and Genevieve M Casteel. She grew up in Iowa and Ohio and moved to Florida with her husband and children. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She loved to bake cookies, play bingo and read. She enjoyed her friendships made at Bingo and Excellence Senior Living, but most of all she treasured and immensely loved her family. She was a woman of strong faith. She lived an incredible life and leaves an incredible legacy of faith and love. We rejoice in her extraordinary life that she was privileged to live for 91 years. She will be laid to rest with her husband Jack in New Port Richey, FL. What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Helen Keller John 14:1-3 - “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Grief never ends, but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…it is the price of LOVE. A memorial service will be held in the near future once family can safely travel during the Covid pandemic.
