Bio
Eugene Woodrow Phillips (age 80) November 11, 1923 - January 4, 2004 He was a gentle man whose missions in life were preaching and teaching Christianity. His father and mother were preachers in Oregon and California. They came from a long line of devout religious people who lived in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, and Oregon. Their ancestors came very early to British Colonial America, from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. They were Pilgrims, German Baptist Brethren, Mennonites, Quakers, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists. His grandfather Andrew Phillips and grandmother Hannah Hunsaker joined the Christian Church in Kansas in the late eighteen hundreds, and continued with that group when they moved their family by immigrant train and wagon to Elgin, Oregon where they made a land claim and farmed. His father Clifton Phillips and mother Amy Carson Phillips met at Eugene Bible Seminary, and both became preachers. Woody continued with this denomination, attending San Jose Bible College, preaching at Dunsmuir and Turlock, California, co-establishing a seminary in Kingston, Jamaica, and teaching at Ozark Bible College in Joplin Missouri. He was president at San Jose Bible College from 1968 - 78, then took staff positions with Overlake Christian Church in Redmond, Washington and Los Gatos Christian Church in California until retirement to his home state of Oregon. Marjorie Reynolds, his companion and fellow teacher since their marriage in 1943, passed away in 1989. He married Minnie Mick, widow of Lewis Mick, and they lived in retirement together at Turner, Oregon until his passing in 2004. His son Woody Jr. passed in July 2001 and his daughter Patricia Phillips passed in December 2004. His wife Minnie passed in 2011. His younger brothers Jim Phillips and Dan Phillips passed in 2011 and 2009. He is survived by his son, Steve Phillips, and daughter, Margie Phillips Jensen, and his grandchildren, Christopher Hart, Melissa Hart Lema, Misty Carico Howard, Jeremy Phillips, Sara Phillips, Nathan Phillips, Joshua Phillips, April Phillips, Artemis Jensen and Alathea Jensen, as well as 16 great-grandchildren.
