Katherine Jean "Kathy" Phillips died in Haines on Sept. 16 at age 57. She'd been suffering from alcohol-related health conditions, family said.
Phillips was born in Alaska to John and Dorothy Meyers on May 4, 1958. She attended school in San Diego before her family moved to Haines when she was 15. Kathy attended Haines High School.
She married Leonard Bryant and the couple had two sons. She later married Eli Phillips and the couple had three daughters.
Kali Phillips of Seattle said this week her mother was an American Legion member who liked to read and garden. "She really loved her animals. They were like her children."
Survivors include daughters Kali Danielle Phillips of Seattle and Karli Phillips of Juneau, and sons Cory Bryant of Juneau and John Bryant of Oregon. Daughter Ambrosia Phillips preceded her in death.
Phillips lived most of her life in Seattle. Donations in her name can be made to Haines Animal Rescue Kennel, P.O. Box 1533, Haines, 99827.
