Donna Lee Phillips

     Donna Lee Phillips, age 79, Uniontown, Pa. passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones, on April 15, 2024. 

     Donna was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 48 years, Nicholas “Tink” Phillips, her parents Edna Williams Morris and Harry Morris, grandson Donald Lee Phillips Jr., granddaughter-in-law Cassie Rae Show, and many loved ones. 

     Left to cherish her memory are her children: Donald L. (Darlene) Phillips Sr., Renee Phillips Kuntz, Toni Rae Phillips and Michael Metros, and Nicolette V. (Scott) Show, her grandchildren, Antonio L. Phillips, Amber A. (Mark) Korowicki, Nicholas R. (Brenda) Johnston, Tara R. (JP) Phillips, John M. (Brittany) Phillips, Tyler (Haley) Koontz, Scott C. Show, Emilie F. Phillips and Alex Stoy, and Nathan A. Show, 13 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

     Donna was a loving mother that put her children first, in every moment.  She battled every hardship with strength and grace - teaching invaluable lessons to her children.  Once she had grandchildren, she loved them beyond measure. “Gram” was devoted to her grandchildren; they couldn’t do anything wrong in her eyes. She was known as “Gram” not only to her grandchildren but to all their friends as well. 

     Donna was a member of El-Shaddai Bible Church for over 35 years where she formed great friendships with the pastors and members of the congregation.  In addition to her love of family and friends, Donna loved her coffee! From sunup to sundown, you could find her drinking a cup of coffee, warm or cold.  Friends and family enjoyed sitting on the side porch or at the kitchen table engaging in small talk over a fresh cup of brew – no matter the time of day, or night.

     Donna may only be 4 foot 9 but her strength and ability to overcome would make her seem 9 feet tall. Donna will be missed and is so very loved.

     The family will receive friends and family in the Dean C. Whitmarsh Funeral Home, 134 West Church Street, Fairchance, Pa. on Thursday from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and on Friday, April 19, 2024 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. the hour of service.

     Interment will follow in Walnut Hill Church Cemetery, Georges Township, Pa.
