The Extraordinary Mrs. Emily Phillips
We at Naugle Funeral Home and Cremation Services, do not repost the obituaries for families We did not serve. That is of course with the exception of obituaries of Celebrities and Dignitaries. The obituary posted below is not a Celebrity or Dignitary, yet here is a repost, let me explain further about the unusual circumstance of Mrs. Emily Phillips obituary.
Usually a Funeral Director, like myself, sits down with the family member or members and We ask questions and write the obituary as a tribute to their loved one. Not the case here..
As you will read there was nothing “usually” about Emily Phillips. This extraordinary and very unusually woman did something even the strongest of Us fear to do. She faced her on eventual death and wrote her own obituary, which ran today in The Florida Times Union here in Jacksonville, Florida . So please, if you will give it a read and you will see what made this lady extraordinary in her own words.
