Carolyn Thurgood Phillips

July 1, 1936 ~ November 7, 2018

Carolyn Thurgood Phillips, 82, passed away at home of natural causes on Wednesday, November 7, 2018. She was born on July 1, 1936 in Westwood, California, the daughter of Glen Lacey and Lola Lucile Stoker Thurgood.

She married the love of her life, Blaine Coffman Phillips, on August 20, 1958 in the Salt Lake Temple. Blaine and Carolyn spent most of their married life in Weber County in Harrisville and Washington Terrace. They recently celebrated 60 wonderful years together with their family. Blaine passed away on November 5, 2018.

Carolyn earned her BS from Brigham Young University and was head secretary at TH Bell Jr. High for many years.

Carolyn was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. She ministered to many and lived a life of service. She touched the lives and hearts of countless people she quietly served. She never gave up, conquering the unimaginable. She lived a Christ-like life that brought immense joy to her family and friends.

She loved her family and enjoyed temple work at the Ogden Utah Temple for many years with Blaine. As you remember our mother, “Be kind and understanding to those that are broken vessels.” (Jeffery R. Holland)
