Ann Marie Phillips, 95, passed away in hospice care at CC Young in Dallas, Texas on June 11, 2018 at approximately 6 a.m. Known as G.G by her grandchildren, she was born in Chicago, Illinois in December, 1922, and married Arthur James "Bud" Phillips in 1943. They shared the same birthday, one year apart in age. They moved to Dallas, Texas after retirement and were married for 49 years until Bud's passing in 1992. She was also preceded in death by her younger daughter, Kimberly Ann Godke, and her only sibling, brother Tom Hopkins. She was known as a wise and gentle woman who deeply loved her family and close friends, and rarely argued with anyone about anything. If she disagreed with something you said, she would simply say, "Oh, do you think so?" If she did not like something you did, she might give you an "Icy Stare" with her bright blue eyes.
Ann is survived by her older daughter, Kathleen Ellen Barry, four grandchildren: Jeffrey Sean Barry, Kelly Ann Galloway, Stephen Douglas Godke, and Ryan Christopher Godke. She is also survived by six great grandchildren: Audrey Layne Galloway, Brady Thomas Galloway Lucas Thomas Barry, Blake Hodges Barry, Ashley Ryan Barry, and Savannah Grace Godke. In addition, she is survived by a niece, Doreen Phillips, and three nephews: Timothy Hopkins, Michael Hopkins, and Bob Phillips.
Ann will be interred at Glendale Memorial Park in Pekin, Illinois where her beloved husband, Bud, and beloved daughter, Kim, are at rest. She will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.
