Nancy Lee Phillips, 81 of Indianapolis, IN passed peacefully surrounded by family on Friday, October 26, 2018.  She was born on May 9, 1937 to Evelyn and Marshall Claffey who both preceded her in death.  On May 14, 1955, she married Irvin Munroe “Cookie” Phillips until his passing on June 29, 2009.  Together, they had four children, one daughter, Terri Lynn Galyan (deceased), and three surviving sons, Mark Phillips, Bryan Phillips (Sandra), and Stephen Phillips (Mindy).  She was a loving grandmother to Josh Galyan (Summer), Renee Parker (Russell), Anthony Phillips (Alisha), Danielle Phillips, Dustin Phillips, and Samantha Phillips.  She was an adoring great grandmother to Caleb Galyan, Mason Parker, Alayna Phillips, Ceirra Phillips, Jace Phillips, Natalie Phillips, Brianna Phillips and Kayla Piecuch.

She is survived by her siblings, Carol Carrico, Terry Claffey, Lois Howell, Wayne Kennedy, Janice Kennedy and Paula Irvin.  She was preceded in death by her brothers, Mike Claffey and Danny Barker and a sister, Nicki Hundley.

Nancy was a quiet, kind person who treated everyone she met like family.  She enjoyed being around the people she loved.  She was always able to find good qualities in anyone, and had an ability to accept all despite their differences.  She had a contagious laugh and a smile that lit up her whole face.

She was a home maker who enjoyed babysitting the children in her neighborhood.  She enjoyed collecting ceramic rabbits and chickens, flower arranging, completing puzzles and interior design.  Her favorite color was purple which she incorporated in almost everything she wore.

A Celebration of Life Service is pending.  Memories and condolences may be shared with the family online at www.albertsonsmortuary.com.
