Dora Mae Phillips

Dora Mae Phillips, (Kearns), of Beavercreek, Ohio, passed away on June 6, 2026. Born on November 16, 1933, in Cedarville, Ohio to the late Arthur and Mable Kearns.

Dora Mae was known for her love of the outdoors and simple pleasures. Days spent camping, swimming, and taking walks were among her happiest. She enjoyed the peaceful comfort of her front porch swing and found delight in word search puzzles that kept her mind sharp. Her favorite television programs included those on the Hallmark Channel and NCIS, and she held a special fondness for the holiday classic movie "Home Alone" and the series "Sherlock." Christmas was her favorite holiday, a time she treasured deeply. Her most beloved travel destination was Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where she created many fond memories.
