Love and prayers to the entire family. Bishop Roderick and Lady Pamela Hennings. Zion Dominion COGIC Buffalo, NY

District Missionary Jean will be greatly missed. She was an anointed evangelist and friendly lady. She was beautiful inside and out. She embodied Holy Royalty but extremely personal and approachable. She brought powerful but practical messages that broke bondages. I will always cherish her mentorship and faithfulness to her ministry.

My prayers are with her family, friends and loved ones. May God strengthen , comfort , and bring you peace during this time.

District Missionary, Joyce Thomas ❤️🙏🏽

To the family and ALL of Us that LOVED THIS AWESOME SERVANT OF GOD. I THANK GOD for allowing our paths not only to cross but to BECOME UNITED.

PRECIOUS in the sight of the Lord is the death of his SAINTS. Jean was a Precious Saint of God.

We are confident, I say and willing rather to be absent from the BODY,AND to Be PRESENT WITH THE LORDD.

THIS IS WHAT JEAN LIVED THIS LIFE FOR IS TO BE WITH THE LORD. THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO BE.

EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CAN NOT HEAL.

LOOK TO JESUS HE WILL SEE U THROUGH. LEAN ON THE GOD THAT JEAN TRUSTED AND DEPENDED ON.

GOD IS YOUR HELP,HOPE AND THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HEAL THE HURT AND HOLE IN YOUR HEARTS.

TRUST HIM ALLOW HIM TO BE YOUR COMFORT AND STRENGTH.

JEAN WELL DONE THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, THOU HAS BEEN FAITHFUL OVER A FEW THINGS, I WILL MAKE THEE RULER OVER MANY THINGS

ENTER THOU INTO THE JOY OF THE LORD.

KNOW THAT GOD IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED,ALLOW GOD TO BE YOUR IS.

Jean is one of the greatest women that I have ever met. We worked together at City of Memphis Government and she changed my life forever. She definitely was a Woman of God in every way. I will always treasure her memory and thank God for bringing her into my life. I consider her a true, loving Sister-Friend. Rest in heavenly peace...job well done! Love, Ellen Blake TateHC8S

A prolific multi-talented child of God, twin Sister Jean Phillips wore many hats. She served the Lord and His people in various capacities from singing in the Pentecostal Temple choir early on, to adjutant and eventually becoming a district missionary in the Church of God in Christ. She excelled in management in the work world, and as a real estate agent, par excellent.

When our congregation were in search of a building in 2006, Sister Phillips had listed the property. We requested that she act, with her rare gift, as the double agent. As we expected, she brokered the deal with quickness, efficiency and fairness for all parties involved. She was indeed trust-worthy! She loved the Lord! She loved people! Her warm demeanor and magnetic smile were the hallmark of her personality.

May God continue to bless her husband, children, sister Supervisor Caron Dean Watkins, brother Calvin Keyes, her pastor, church members and all who loved her. May her life continue to be that guiding light and her memory, a blessing!

Elder Charles Perry

Sweet Karon "Jean", you were such a sweetheart, and so much fun to be around. I cherish our outings with your twin sis and my mom, fun lunches, etc. Heaven has been graced with your arrival, though we will miss you terribly here! May God bless you and all of your sweet family, Hack

I remember her from high school she always had a nice smile I couldn't tell them apart because they look so much alike. Anytime I see them or her she always had a smile she will be missed God bless her. Sammy Phillips

To the Phillips family. Thank you for sharing Jean. Her tender heart and love for people always put a smile on my face. She will be missed not only as my sister in Christ but as a women, who loved God and her family.
