Precious Memories RIP cousin Ruth you will never be forgotten always in my heart....

Sis. Ruth you was a sweetheart. You will be truly missed.

With Deepest Sympathy on the Home-going of Your Wife, Reverend Ruthie... 
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
 2Corinthians 1:3-4

Sending healing prayers and a comforting touch🙏🏽
Rev. Celestine O. Loftis

I will always remember how gracious you and your family were to allow us to stay with you in 1999, in Spring, TX,  when we were moving. I was starting 10th grade and transferring to another high school. It was a really hectic time in my life. However, your generosity made things easier.  
My prayers ( and my family's prayers) are with Peter Philips, Rochelle, Tamika, Simon, Uncle Peter & Aunt Ruthie's grandchildren, and the entire family.  Aunt Ruthie was and still is dearly loved. 
Dear Aunt Ruthie, may you have everlasting peace with Jesus Christ in Heaven. 

The Texas Conference Women’s Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church sends our condolences to Rev. Phillips and the family.  Rev. Ruthie, your fight is over and may you rest in heaven.

I met Ruthie and her family in St. Louis when I was assigned, by the Army, to the Record Center.   She and Peter invited me to their church, Bethel A.M.E.  I became a member and that experience was the real start of my Christian transformation.   My only regret is I never told her what an important part she played in my salvation journey.  Your soul is with Jesus now and we will  be together with Him.  Knowing that comforts me and my prayer is that it comforts the family. 

Ruthie is my Sisters-in-law that I love so much.  She had a heart of gold,  she was genuine,  always happy and funny.  I didn’t see her often but when I did she would have me laughing.  I will miss her and she will be where the Lord lives, in my heart... RIP

We are saddened by the fact that we will no longer  see the two of you walking and serving together in the AME church.  Reverend Peter Phillips, we pray that God will  give you the grace to continue without Reverend Ruth by  your side.  May God cover you with HIs peace and love.

Rev. Peter and Family,

I am reminded of how I admired the way Rev. Peter and Rev. Ruthie presented themselves at various meetings. I believe it was at the last Annual Conference they were together as committed as ever. 

Congratulations on obtaining your 3 scores and 10, but most of all for going to a place where the wicked shall cease from troubling and the weary shall be at rest. A place where you know you are free from all sickness, disease and COVID-19. A place where you can trade your make for a crown.

Rest on my sister,
Rev. Cassandra Mkwanazi

Praying He will refresh your heart as you hope in Him.

My heart aches with yours in this season as the time has come that we must say goodbye to our beloved Sister. 

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were in class together working on our Master of Divinity. She was so sweet and kind. I know you will miss her.  We will too.

Please know that we are praying for the family. May you all find strength and comfort in the Almighty God!!!

So long Rev. Ruthie. See you later!

Rev. Dr. Brenda Brenda Arnold-Scott

May your heart find comfort knowing that your love one is at home with the Lord

To the family of the late Ruthie Phillips we are praying for you knowing that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal

Dear Pastor Peter Phillips and Family,

On behalf of Cousin Vaughnceil Bourne Woods  and Family, we extend our deepest condolences.

The Rev. Ruthie Phillips was such a loving and devoted person.

We always admired her unwavering service and obedience to her parents and grandparents whenever we visited with her family years ago.

“Ruthie Mae,” as we endearingly called her, was petite in statue; however, she was  BIG at heart. She was truly a remarkable and beloved person whose kind demeanor will always resonate in our hearts.

May you find comfort and strength from the passage found in  Romans 14:8—
“For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.”
