Earl Davis Phipps, born July 20, 1930, joined our Heavenly Father on Saturday, March 13, 2021. He was preceded in death by his wife, Joyce Phipps and grandsons, Matthew Loyd and Caleb Dorer.

His surviving family includes son, Alan Dale Phipps and daughter-in-law, Janice Phipps of Ardmore, TN, daughter, Sonia Lynne Dorer and son-in-law, Richard Dorer of Mount Juliet, TN, grandchildren, Kellie Barron of Athens, AL, Nikki Parmer of St. Jo, MO, Charles (Charlie) Davis Dorer of Lebanon, TN, and brother, Ernest Phipps of Mount Juliet, TN.

Earl was born and raised in Crossville. He moved around the country for work, however, upon his retirement he returned to his home in Crossville, Tennessee. One more move was to Mount Juliet, TN to be closer to his children and grandchildren.

He chose cremation, however, there will be a celebration of life memorial at Crossville Memorial Funeral Home on March 20, 2021 at 3:00 PM. Later, his urn will be placed at Woody Cemetery next to his beloved wife, Joyce. Please come and help us celebrate Earl’s life, and most importantly, his life in his new heavenly body as he finds comfort in Jesus’ arms.
