Susan “Susie” Snider Phillips, 89, of Winchester, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Over the years, she has been affectionately known as “Sue”, “Mrs. P”, “The Q”, and “Nanny Sue”.
Born in 1937 in Winchester, Susie was the daughter of the late Charles Bulla Snider and Hazel Lodge Snider. She was a 1955 graduate of John Handley High School and went on to attend Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia.
Susie married Billy Grimes Phillips on December 14, 1957, in Winchester. Together they raised three children and shared 32 years of marriage before his passing on May 14, 1990. Susie worked for many years at the Winchester Country Club, a place that reflected so many of her personal passions.
A lifelong resident of Winchester, Susie was an active and vibrant member of her community. She was a member of Braddock Street United Methodist Church, the Hawthorne Garden Club, and the Winchester Country Club where she was a longtime member of the Tigers team. An avid golfer, she was a dedicated advocate for women’s golf. Susie could be found playing bridge with friends, on the porch of the lake house, or seated at the piano sharing her love of music.
She is survived by her loving children: daughters, Page Dekker (David) of Bethesda, MD, and Whitney Nelson (Wink) of Richmond, VA, and son, Billy Phillips (Diana) of Stephens City, VA. She also leaves behind six cherished grandchildren, Sydney (Kody Martin), Winn, Lodge, Tommy, Will, and Olivia and two great-grandchildren, Emmalyn, and Lane Martin.
A celebration of life will take place on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at Noon at the Winchester Country Club. A private burial will take place at Mount Hebron Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Susie’s honor may be made to Blue Ridge Care, 333 W. Cork St., Suite 405, Winchester, VA 22601.
