Phyllis was a very loving and giving person who would do anything for everyone.
Phyllis was a driven professional with an unmatched work ethic and a gardner in her free time. She also loved her family and cats with all her heart. When diagnosed with ovarian cancer in September, Phyllis remained dedicated to her job and optimistic that she would beat this cancer. Phyllis remained brave, even throughout her final weeks.
Phyllis is survived by her brother Clarence Henry Clipper Jr. (Mamie), her sister Estefania C. Martinez (Arnold), her sister Dea Cowgill (Mitchell), her brother Lawrence Carson Clipper (Julie), her brother Thomas Fitzgerald Clipper (Eva) and her sister Rosa Lynette Clipper Fleming Stevenson (Michael).
Phyllis was preceded in death by her father Clarence Henry Clipper † and her mother Maria Conception Foster †; her brother Vincent Edward Clipper †.
She is also survived by a multitude of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
The family would especially like to thank the staff of Texas Oncology and Valley Regional Medical Center for their constant, attentive treatment.
