Tony Lee

Phelps

Tony Lee Phelps was born at Alconbury AFB in England in 1959 as the second of four sons born to parents Clarence M Phelps and Joyce A Phelps. The family spent the early years traveling the world as all four sons were born in different countries and states.   After finally settling down in the Wichita Falls area - Tony spent his life working various jobs in construction - at the Wichita Falls State Hospital and his final position was at Sheppard Force Base in the maintenance area.

Tony loved his Washington Redskins and refused to refer to his team as the Generals.  Football was a conversation among family and friends as everyone else usually followed other football teams.  When Tony resided at the Sheridan Retirement Center in Burkburnett, Texas - he was asked what items would bring him comfort from his home and he asked for his Redskin blanket and a favorite coffee mug including names of his family and friends -  and a coffee mug that reminded him of his beloved Aunt Odie.

Tony was a kind and gentle soul that loved God and loved his family.  Tony will certainly be missed and forever remembered.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents - Joyce and Buddy Phelps.
Tony is survived by brother Duane Phelps and his wife Lynn Phelps and brothers Billy and Pat Phelps.
Nephews - Billy Phelps and Jeff Snow
Niece - Melanie Caldwell.
