The Bakersfield Californian 8 February 2004 

L. D. Phillips July 8, 1922 - February 5, 2004

Memorial services will be held at First United Methodist Chapel at

Feb. 9, 2004, from 4-8 p.m.

L. D. Phillips has gone to Heaven today to be with the Lord, his wife 
Eleanor, and many dear friends.  He was born in Foss, Oklahoma, to 
Lora Allen and Mark Phillips on July 8, 1922.  He moved to 
Bakersfield and graduated from Kern Union High School and after a 
stint with the U.S. Army, he met and married Eleanor Winkler in 1948.  
They raised two daughters.  He worked for PG&E, Southern California 
Gass and Sunland Oil Refinery where he retired in 1984.  He loved 
working in his wood shop creating treasures for all of his loved 
ones, traveling, and spending time with his friends.

He is survived by one brother, Orvel Phillips of Oklahoma; two 
daughters, Cheryl Peterson of Texas, and Eldean Phillips of 
Bakersfield.  He was adored by his two granddaughters, Karen and 
Marci Peterson of Texas, and many close friends made throughout his 
life who were drawn to his gentle humor and enthusiasm for "just 
being neighborly."

Our deep gratitude extends to all who knew and loved him and were so 
very present with us during these final days of his journey Home.  
Special thanks for such loving care to all those at the Kern Medical 
Center Direct Observation Unit and Teresa Rodriguez of Agape Home 
Care.

Ministries (ICM), P. O. Box 9071, Bakersfield, CA 93389-9071, or New
