Individual Details

Eunice M. Kelso Phillips, 86, passed away Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015, at a local nursing facility after suffering complications from Alzheimer's of more than five years. Funeral: 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Biggers Funeral Chapel, 6100 Azle Ave., Fort Worth. Graveside service will be in Laurel Land Memorial Park in Fort Worth. Visitation: The family will receive friends 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Biggers Funeral Home. Eunice was born Nov. 14, 1928, in Haskell, where she lived until she married her first husband, John Calvin Patton. At that time, she had to have the consent of her parents and the school superintendent to marry so she could finish her high school education. She then moved to Fort Worth, where she became the first young lady in the Fort Worth ISD to be married and continue her education until she graduated. Eunice later met and married Charles H. Phillips on Nov. 12, 1982. He was the love of her life and was her faithful companion until his death in January 1999. Eunice sewed for the public most of her adult life and was a seamstress/alterations lady for several dry cleaners in Azle and Fort Worth. The family would like to thank the staff of all those who took care of her as though she was their own: Dr. Quang Le, Renew Home Health, Tanglewood Oaks and the women and men assisting our mother in her final days with Gentiva Hospice and Stonegate Nursing Center. Without you all, it would have been much more difficult. Survivors: Sons, John C. Patton Jr. and wife, Theresa, of Granbury and Mike Patton and wife, Kathleen, of Graham; daughter, Mischa Brandt and husband, Alan, of Fort Worth; six grandchildren; and a host of great-grandchildren.
