His friends and co-workers said that he was genuine- he did not try to “fit-in” and he was who he was. To be around him was a joy and you always walked away with a smile. Phil had a passion for running rabbit dogs that was inherited from his dad. He would always express how he had the best dogs and talk about all the trophies they had won for him. His friends would kid him and say, “Yes you have great dogs, but you will trade at least one next week.” To which he would reply with a smile, “You just can’t turn down a good deal.” He loved his community of Bee Spring, where he lived for many years. His favorite activity was participating in the Haunted Barn during several Halloween seasons. He loved giving back, and this event raised thousands of dollars to help children of Edmonson County who were in need. The most important part of Phil’s life was his private relationship with god. He was saved at the age of 13 while attending a revival at South Union General Baptist Church, where his dad was the pastor. He was proud that he had a dad and mom that raised him in a Christian home. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday at Gravil Funeral Home with burial to follow in Bee Spring Cemetery.

Suzie was salutatorian of the class of 1966 at Edmonson County High School, a retired administrative assistant for Western Kentucky University's Journalism Department (a fulfillment of her wishes to be a secretary as she was growing up) where she most loved helping students with their degree programs or helping students who would come to her for advice or for a shoulder to cry on. She was a "mom" to them all when they needed her to be. Most recently, she helped her son at his booth at Flealand checking out customers and greeting everyone with a smile and friendly conversation. Suzie was a member of River Stone Church of Christ and served the Lord by passionately loving and serving not only her family, but also friends. She had a great desire to help make life easier for others. She spent much time preparing meals or desserts for those who were sick or shut-in. She wrote cards to all of the visitors who walked through the doors at River Stone and sent birthday and anniversary cards to all of the members there. She loved large family gatherings, whether it was after church or just anytime they could be together. She got so much joy from spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as her nieces and nephews whom she also thought of as her own. "Mammaw Suzie" always had little toys, gifts or candy to hand out to them when they visited. Words can't express how selfless she was and how much she truly wanted to serve others. She was a wonderful mother, sister, mammaw, Aunt Suzie and friend to so many. This world will always be a little less bright without her here. We will all miss her presence daily.
