Momma Tee, as she was affectionately called, entered this world on June 11, 1920. She was a woman of strong faith who brought love, intelligence, wisdom and her very special brand of humor to all who knew her. She worked as a personal housekeeper and later in the housekeeping department at Acadiana Mental Health where she retired. Julia was devoted to her family and she and her husband Arthur raised their five children. Throughout her life, Julia worked to improve herself and all those around her. Although she was deprived of a formal education as a child because of poverty, Momma Tee valued education and learning.

She is survived by two daughters, Bernice (Sherrod Lee) Brooks of San Diego, CA and Ida (James) Connor of Clinton, MD; two sons, Oscar Phillips, Wayne Kenneth (Geneva) Phillips of Lafayette, LA; one daughter-in-law, Carolyn Phillips of Lafayette, LA; six grandchildren, ten great grandchildren; one sister-in-law, Lilly Fils and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Phillips; son, Robert “Bobby” Phillips; her parents, Elnora and Arthur Jordan; brother, Oscar Jordan and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Jordan.

The family gives special thanks to Doctor Milton Jolivette; her son, Oscar; caregivers, Mrs. Rita Sparrow, Ms. Lynette Smith, Ms. Adelia Sparrow; and the LGMC ICU and Eighth Floor’s West Tower staff.

Visitation will be held Monday, December 29, 2014 at St. Patrick Catholic Church from 9:00 a.m. until time of service.

A rosary will be recited on Monday at 9:30 a.m.
