Evelyn “Eva” Kathleen Phillips, 48 of Brooks passed away at Norton Hospital on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
She was a Christian by faith, she was a professional grandmother by trade, and the true matriarch of the Phillips family. Eva made it her job to take care of everyone, she corralled the strays of extended family members, forged peace treaties among fighting parties, and ensured family gatherings. She was the glue that held everyone together. She was nurturing, and she never said no, regardless of the burden placed upon herself. Eva devoted herself to her family, their health and happiness. Smiles and laughter from her grandchildren were her purpose. Bonds deeply rooted and memories made to last a lifetime, her legacy will live on through them. Eva will forever be cherished.
Eva is survived by her loving husband of more than 27 years, Carl Phillips, Sr.; children Carl Phillips, Jr. (Katie) and Catherine Phillips both of Brooks; parents Ellis and Myrtle Smith of Vine Grove; siblings Gail Douglas (Donnie) of Shepherdsville, Michelle Vessels (John) of Ekron, and Kim Creek (Kelley) of Shepherdsville; along with her grandchildren Gunner, Anthony, Carlee, and Bailee Phillips.
Funeral Service will take place at noon on Friday, February 9, 2024, at Maraman Billings Funeral Home with Bro. Mark Veatch officiating. Burial will follow in the Phillips Family Cemetery.
Visitations will be Thursday, February 8, 2024, 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Friday, February 9, 2024, 9:00 a.m. until time of service.
