Joan Fetters
Phillips
October 14, 1933 - May 10, 2022
With family present,
Joan Fetters Phillips,
88, died from dementia
on May 10, 2022, in her
Grand Junction home.
A staunch Democrat
married to a steadfast
Republican for 51 years, she was a farm wife, mother
of four, patriot, master gardener, bookkeeper, bridge
player and wildflower watcher who loved toast, road
trips, the Rocky Mountains, British dramas and politics.
And she continued to be a die hard Denver Broncos fan
even as her disease progressed, mesmerized by football
on the TV, although she could no longer communicate.
Born in 1933, Joan spent most of her early life in Ft.
Lupton, Colorado. She married Bob Phillips in 1961,
settling on the family fruit farm in Cedaredge. They
raised four children, Randy, Susan, Heidi and Greg.
After retiring, Joan and Bob moved to Grand Junction
in 2006, where Bob died in 2013. Joan is survived by
her four children, eight grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. The family will spread her ashes over
wildflowers on Grand Mesa this summer.
