Dorothy "Dot" Woolf Phillips

With all my heart, I am waiting, Lord for you! I trust your promises. (Psalm 130:5)

Dot was born in East Prairie, Missouri in 1946 and graduated from Donaldson High school in 1964. She was retired from GMAC with over 30 years of service. Dot was beloved by her coworkers, customers, and car dealers. She spent many hours at the ball fields with our sports family and she loved every minute. Dot was an avid competitive bowler all her life and it continued into the senior league at Sparetime Bowling in Hixson. She loved her team and all her friends she spent time with there. She enjoyed people and never met a stranger. Dot was a selfless, kind, loving mother, wife, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She will be truly missed. Dot was of the Baptist faith and her faith was steadfast and unfaltering. Praise God! Her faith has become sight. Well done thy good and faithful servant.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill Staggs and Louree and Luke Neil; and her first husband, William “Bill” J. Woolf, Jr.; two brothers and a sister.

Dot is survived by her husband of 19 years, Stephen Phillips; children, William John “Tripp” (Dana Marie) Woolf, III, Amanda DeVault (Weston) Lyall, Lori (Matt) Loney and Joni (Brad) Sullivan; 12 grandchildren; sister, Paulette Werner and many nieces and nephews.
