Phillip Anthony Kirkpatrick (March 24, 2014)
Phillip Anthony Kirkpatrick age 63 of Greenville, OH, and passed away 7:45 A.M. Monday March 24, 2014 in the State of the Heart Hospice Care Center after a six month battle with lung cancer. He is survived by his wife Sandra (Corn) Kirkpatrick, daughter Adrienne (Matthew) Schipfer of Colorado Springs, CO, son Matthew (Holly) Kirkpatrick of Troy, OH; mother Phyllis Kirkpatrick of Greenville, sister Stephanie Kircher of Greenville; eight grandchildren, Ella, Aiden, Ethan and Ava Kirkpatrick, and Marguerite, William, Jackson, and Samuel Schipfer; and numerous nieces and nephews. He his preceded in death by his late father Paul Kirkpatrick of Greenville, OH.
Phil was born on November 1, 1950 in Hancock County near Findlay Ohio. After graduating from Greenville Senior High School, followed by a few years of travelling the country, Phil joined Corning Glass where he worked as a skilled machinist for 29 years until he retired in 2002. He was currently employed with Crown Industries in Celina, Ohio.
Phil was a quiet and humble husband, father, grandfather and friend, who loved his family and friends dearly. An avid chess player, Phil was a member of the United States Chess Federation and competed in numerous tournaments across the Midwest. He introduced, with much patience, the game to his grandchildren and always had a board set up, ready for a match.
In his younger years, Phil's dedication to boy scouts and his pursuit of earning the Eagle Scout badge, cultivated his interest in camping. Combined with his enjoyment of traveling, Phil enjoyed many road trips throughout the country, where most nights were spent in campsites. He enjoyed traveling the road, a reflection of his simple, laid back pace of life. As his years progressed, the planning of a trip became as much of a highlight as the actual travel.
In the summer months, Phil could be found in his backyard, tending to his beautiful garden. A seasoned green thumb, Phil eagerly anticipated each growing season - planning the upcoming plant collection, plotting the garden beds and starting seedlings indoors. Like many of his hobbies, Phil shared this with his grandchildren, always encouraging of the many eager little helping hands.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 P.M. Friday March 28, 2014 in the Zechar Bailey Funeral Home Greenville, Ohio with Rev. Hershel Fee officiating. Burial will follow in the Greenville Township Memorial Garden. The family will receive friends on Thursday from 5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M. in the funeral home.
It is the wishes of the family that Memorial Contributions be given to State of the Heart Hospice of Darke County.
Phil's family wishes to express a thank you to all the friends and caregivers that supported Phil and his family throughout his diagnosis and treatment.

Mary Catherine “Kay” (Tilden) Brown, age 98 of Greenville, Ohio passed away at 5:57 A.M. Sunday March 16, 2014 at her residence.
She was born January 31, 1916 in Muncie, Indiana, to the late Frank and Ethel (Tillman) Tilden from Ansonia. She was married in Maysville, KY., August 6, 1940 to Richard C. “Pete” Brown who preceded her in death after 55 years of marriage.
She is survived by a son and daughter- in- law, Richard T. “Dick” and Dianne Brown of Greenville, and two granddaughters, Brandy Kay Brown of Columbus and Betsy Renay Brown, who currently lives in Mexico.
Kay attended elementary school in Greenville and graduated from Wyoming (Ohio) High School in 1933 and was their oldest living graduate. She graduated from Balthaser’s Business School and attended Miami University in 1933 and 1934 during the Depression. She was a legal secretary for John Maher, Vernon Marchal and Howard Tillman attorneys.
Along with her husband Pete, they owned the Central Drug Store, opposite the Court House from 1946 to 1967. Kay also worked at McVay’s Sporting Goods on Broadway from 1971 to 1987, with Pete, Roland Brinley and son Dick, who owned the business.
Kay served as a Director and the major stock holder of Rest Haven Nursing Home until it was sold in 2003. Kay was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority for 70 plus years and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church for over 64 years.
Kay once stated that she never wanted to live anywhere else but Greenville. Because of her love for Greenville and history, she served as a Director and a major benefactor of the Garst Museum (Darke County Historical Society) and served on many committees. She was Secretary for the Annie Oakley Committee in its early years. She commissioned five original paintings of the historic Fort Greene Ville for the Garst Museum; all painted by local Revolutionary period artist Hal Sherman.
Late in life, Kay was a local GPAT television “Star” receiving many positive comments about her great knowledge of Greenville history. These post card shows from her personal collection, with Kathleen Floyd aired on Channel 5 a few years ago.
The family would like to thank the dedicated team of care givers who allowed her to remain in her home and brightened her final four years. They are the best. She also enjoyed and looked forward to her daily visits to the Maid-Rite.
