Lisa Ann Phillips

Lisa was born on March 28, 1962 in Butte, Montana, and in October of 1979 she married the love of her life, Tom Phillips. After he joined the Army, the two had many incredible adventures together, including witnessing the eruption of Mount St. Helens, touring German castles, and experiencing first-hand the raw power of Oklahoma windstorms.

A dedicated mother of three rambunctious boys first and foremost, Lisa was perhaps known best for her love for others. Throughout her life she worked various jobs that allowed her to care for animals, children, and the elderly, and she described becoming a grandmother in 2000 as one of the happiest moments of her life.

Strong in her faith and resolute in her principles, Lisa was a role model for many. Shortly after she and Tom moved to Aurora in 2008, she joined Calvary Chapel in Bennett and continued to grow in the Lord.

Lisa is survived by her husband Tom; her three sons and their wives Eric and Nina Phillips, Josh and Torie Phillips, and Zach and Darcie Phillips; four grandchildren Virginia, Ryan, Rachel, and Abigail Phillips; and many siblings, nephews, and nieces.

In life, Lisa touched others with her bright, optimistic, and positive personality, and she wanted to maintain that spirit even in death; as such, she requested that attendees of her memorial service be encouraged to celebrate her life by wearing color if they so desired.
