Wanda Phillips

Wanda Phillips was preceded in death by her husband Dan Phillips Jr. and son Richard Phillips. She is survived by her two daughters, Jeannie Phillips Flake and husband William and Peggy Phillips Lloyd.  She is also survived by five grandchildren: Tres Flake, Tim Flake, Jebediah Lloyd and wife Allie, Jennifer Lloyd Fisher and husband David and Richard Phillips and wife Erin.  Her nine great-grandchildren are:  Kirby Flake and wife Migs, Josie Flake, Gracie Flake, Abbie Flake, Emmalee Flake, Zach Lloyd, Max Lloyd, Echo Fisher and Creedence Fisher.  She is also survived by her niece Sharon Evans.

Wanda was a stay-at-home mom until all her children graduated from high school.  She then entered the work force as a welder at American Standard in Wilmington, NC.  Some years later, she worked at Corning Glass as a Quality Control Inspector.  Upon her husband’s retirement, the two of them opened Hourglass Antiques.  They traveled the East Coast doing antique shows while having a permanent shop in Wilmington.  She was a Certified Gemologist and specialized in Antique Estate jewelry while her husband specialized in furniture and antique pocket watches.

Her love of God and family was her strength!  Her love of nature, gardening, animals and pulling weeds was legendary!  She was a beautiful Soul and the world is blessed by her having been here! 

A funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm, Friday, October 21, 2022, at Andrews Mortuary Market Street Chapel, with a visitation one hour prior. Interment will take place immediately after at Greenlawn Memorial Park. Dr. Kim Turner will officiate.
