Jean Phillips

Ima Jean “Jean”(Davault) Phillips age 94, passed away in her home on March 21, 2025. She was born Feb 27, 1931 in Asher, OK to Martin and Gertrude (McAlister) Davault. She was raised in Noble, OK and graduated from Noble HS. After high school, she worked in a jewelry store and then Primrose Funeral Home both in Norman. This is where she later met her future husband, James G. “Jim” Phillips Jr. while working at the funeral home in Norman, OK. They were later married September 26, 1952 in Norman. They lived in Wellston, Comanche, and Edmond before moving their sons to what would be their forever home in Holdenville in 1962. They purchased Hudson Funeral Home and this is where they raised both sons in the funeral home. In 1977, they purchased Stout Funeral Home in Wewoka. Jean served her beloved community with Jim for many years until her health prevented it. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Holdenville where she sang in the choir and taught Sunday School. She actively served at Holdenville General Hospital as a Pink Lady, was active in Mother’s Club where she was a “fierce” dominoes player, and a Cub Scout Den Leader. Her greatest joy was her family. She spent many weekends enjoying sleepovers with her grandchildren, playing dominoes and cards with friends, and cooking Sunday dinners for the family.
