Posted by: Ann Weber
Phillip Neal Munkirs, 82, a wonderful man of God, devoted family man
and great friend passed from this life surrounded by love on February
13th into the loving arms of His Heavenly Father and also into the arms
of his wife of over 60 years just in time for Valentine's Day.
Phil was born December 18, 1936 in Wichita, KS to Frank & Myrtle
(Plough) Munkirs. His family later moved to Nowata, OK. While in the
Navy he was stationed in Kodiak, Alaska, San Diego, CA, & Corpus
Christi, TX. He met the love of his life Joan Ruth (Allen) from Dewey,
OK and they wed on March 15th, 1957. They made their home in
Bartlesville, OK. and he worked at Reda Pump for over 32 years as
General Maintenance Superintendent. He made many long lasting
friendships there.
If asked what he loved most in this world, it would be God & family. He
loved working with wood, dancing, protecting animals, gardening and
filling his yard with flowers. He shaped his hedge into a giant
caterpillar to bring happiness to all that passed his house. He loved to
teach, he was a Sunday school teacher at Eastern Heights Baptist Church
for many years. He found great joy in his 3 grandkids and 5 great
grandkids. He was actively involved in all their lives. His girls called
him King Corn because of all his corny jokes, and where ever he went you
knew the fun factor would increase. He loved Eggberts, he ate there
every day - they knew him by name.
Phil is survived by his daughters, Barbara Munkirs, Donna Owens, Debbie
Watson, his 3 grandchildren, Ben Watson & Natalie, Kaycee (Watson) &
Cass Head and McQuaid Watson & Angela. His five great grandchildren:
Cade, Devon, Ellie, Grayson & Josiah. His sister Willa (Munkirs) Hall &
