Alice Marie Phillips Obituary
February 16, 1958 - December 5, 2023
Alice
Marie
Bowyer
Phillips,
65,
of
Alderson,
passed
away
Tuesday,
December 5, 2023, after a short illness.
Born
in
Union,
February
16,
1958,
daughter
of
the
late
Franklin
Dewey
Bowyer and Barbara Ann Ballard Bowyer.
Other
than
her
parents,
Alice
was
preceded
in
death
by
her
husband
William
“Snuffy” Phillips.
She
was
raised
in
Alderson,
and
came
from
small
beginnings,
and
didn’t
have
much.
She
had
a
family
of
brothers
and
sisters
that
meant
everything
to
her
and
that
was
all
she
needed.
She
raised
her
two
children
with
love
and
devotion,
giving
the
dreams
of
lives
only
a
mother
could
give.
She
worked
at
Shenandoah
Manor,
owned
a
business
for
many
years,
and
retired
at
the
former
Greenbrier
Valley
Medical
Center,
making
many
friends
at
each
stop
on
the
way.
Into
retirement
she
devoted
her
time
and
love
to
her grandchildren, and becoming “Nana”.
Alice
touched
many
lives
on
her
journey.
She
never
knew
a
stranger,
went
out
of
her
way
to
make
everyone
comfortable
and
happy
when
at
her
home,
didn’t
want
anyone
to
need
even
if
she
went
without.
She
loved
her
family
dearly,
her
time
on
her
front
porch
surrounded
by
them,
her
girl’s
softball
teams,
and
her
closest
friends.
She
was
known
for
her
excitement
for
random
trips
with
her
family
and
friends,
and
was
always
looking
forward
to
planning
out
her
next
adventure,
be
it
a
cruise,
or
a
trip
to
any
point
on
the
map.
She
was
an
incredible
woman,
lived
an
amazing
life,
and
leaves
us
with
countless
memories
that
will
be cherished by all.
