Larry Phillips
died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack on December 26, 2018. Larry was a long-time employee at the museum from September 1988 to January 2013. He was our exhibition preparator for over 24 years. Larry left IAIA only because his tribe, the Ohkay Owingeh, appointed him as Lt. Governor in January 2013. Larry recently celebrated his 45th year of marriage to Barbara Phillips. They had four children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. At his memorial, they mentioned his long time service to IAIA. He loved IAIA and we loved him. He still periodically visited the museum and he regularly invited museum staff to attend his pueblo dances.
Larry was an exceptional individual and will be missed by all who knew him.
Patsy Phillips (Cherokee)
IAIA Alumnus
Shannon Bitsoie
(Navajo) passed away on December 27, 2018.
