Ernest C. Phillips Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on February 25, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Ernest C. Phillips of Morton, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ernest C. Phillips to show support.

Though Ernest may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Ernest touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Ernest L. Phillips and Mary Phillips; his wife Sharon Stein; his children, Scott Phillips (Holly) of Tremont, Rebecca McKnight of Deer Creek and Kimberly Oberlag (Clark) of Glen Carbon; and his siblings, Mary Ann Cashdollar of Morton, Richard Phillips of Morton and Marjory Kutnz of Eureka.
