Shirley Ann Phillips-Jones, age 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 16, 2018, at

New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. Mrs. Jones was born on

September 8, 1939 in Amherst County, Virginia, a daughter of the late father Samuel Phillips

and Reverend Clara Elizabeth Phillips-Beverly.

Shirley was a graduate of Central High School in Amherst County, VA. She thereafter relocated

to Broomfield, Connecticut to attend nursing school where she graduated and became a

Licensed Practical Nurse which was a path that became very clear to her after taking care of

her late father. Shortly after, she went on to work at Florence Nightingale Hospital and Nursing

Home as a nurse in New York.

In 1971, she married Willie E. Jones who preceded her in death in September 2007.

She is survived and loved by her three sons, Robert (Bobby), Wade (Mann), Willie Jr. (Luvmug)

who resides in New York; her three daughters, Sharon of Alexandria, Virginia, Barbara (Ann) of

Northern Virginia, and Darlene of New York; her 9 grandchildren, Robert Jr. "Lil Bob", Pierre,

Eddie (Naquan), Alexis, Tahira, Keyanna, Tieyanna, Zachariah, and Zariah; her 9 great

grandchildren; her brother, Cecil Wayne Phillips; her sisters, Mary Darnell Barbour, Linda Sue

Harsley, Debra K. James, and Clara Laverne Jerrels; and a host of nieces and nephews. She

was proceeded by her late brothers and sisters, Samuel Jr., Stuart, William, Charles, Harold,

George, Betty, Barbara, and Rosa.

The Jones-Loggins-Phillips family would like to extend our gratitude to the doctors and staff of

New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, specifically the Emergency Department
