Ilva Burgess Phillips
Ilva Burgess Phillips, 89, went to be with the Lord on July, 7th 2017 while at home with her family in Savannah, Ga.
Ilva was born in Mundy Point, Va, she graduated from Callao High School in 1946. She was an avid baseball and tennis fan and was a great player herself. She married the love of her life Edward F. Phillips and moved to Tilghman Island, Md, where they had 6 children and about 20 foster children.
They moved to Savannah in 1977 and made many wonderful friends.
Her quiet strength and character, her love for children and her family has always been an inspiration to all who knew her. As a wife and mother to commercial fisherman and seafarers, her life has always been an anchor and beacon to us.

She is survived by her children; Edwardine Kirwan, Wayne Phillips, Warren Phillips, Joe Phillips, Rebecca Cubbedge, and Steven Phillips, 18 Grandchildren and 14 Great Grandchildren.
Proverbs 31: 29-31
Many daughters have done nobly.
But you have risen over them all.
Loveliness is deceptive and prettiness is in vain.
A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised give her the fruit of her hands and let her works praise her in the gates.
Jesus knows your works, mom and he will welcome you home
We Love You Mom
