Jean Clark Phillips
Jean Clark Phillips, 87, went home to be with Jesus on Sunday, April 28, 2024.
She was born on Aug. 4, 1936, in Chattanooga, Tn. Her life was one of dedication and service to Jesus Christ. She was a loving mother and grandmother, tireless servant, and blessing to her family and many friends. She graduated from Chattanooga City High School in 1954, attended UTC on a full music scholarship, worked at DuPont for 29 years, and spent her entire life volunteering and serving others. Jean was a member of Hixson Presbyterian Church where she sang in the choir. She lived a life full of caring, loving, and giving and was a prayer warrior for many. She considered her family to be her greatest achievement.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert (Bob) Phillips; parents, James and Beulah Clark; sister, Edna Clark Crabtree; and beloved grandson, Nicholas Phillips.
Jean is survived by her sons, Jim Phillips (Robin), Mike Phillips, Ken Phillips (Sonia), and her daughter, Nancy Phillips Hutchison (Jeff). She is also survived by her grandchildren Rachel Phillips Petrie (Sam), Noah Phillips; Michael Phillips (Carrie), Matthew Phillips (Tiffany), Sophia Phillips; Emilia Phillips; Jonathan Wallace (Nicole), Jared Wallace (Kristin), Crystal Wallace Solomon (Austin), and Caroline Wallace Self (Brock), and her nieces Susie Crabtree Low and Libby Crabtree Ryon
Jean’s great-grandchildren include Luke, Abby, and Nate Phillips; Hallie Kay, Annie, and Scottie Solomon; and Cameron and Caroline Dayton. She was very excited about three more great grandchildren due this year in August, September, and October.
