Phillip Keith “Phil” Anderson
1944 - 2020
Early Life: Phillip "Phil" was born April 1, 1944, in Payson, Utah, to Keith Phillips and Mary Eleanor Davis Anderson.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: On June 1, 1966, Phil was married to Lillian "Lil" Lee in the Salt Lake Temple. She was the love of his life and his sweetheart from a young age. Together they had five children. His family was always the most important thing to him. Phil connected to those around him in a powerful way through music. In 1963, he was called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Northern Argentina. Phil was a proselyting missionary for a time, but became the lead singer, guitarist, and band leader for “The Mormon Boys,” the largest ever all missionary show band for the Church. They preached the gospel with music, traveling over 10,000 miles and preforming for schools, hospitals, prisons, charitable organizations, radio, TV, and even a leper colony. Phil served two more full-time Spanish-speaking missions with his wife, Lil, in New Orleans and Provo, Utah. He always used music to teach the gospel. Phil graduated from Brigham Young University in 1968 with a B.S. degree in Zoology. He worked for 30 years for Upjohn in pharmaceutical sales, hospital sales and upper management. He won several awards for his outstanding work there. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Phil served in various capacities including bishoprics, as a bishop of a BYU ward, a branch presidency at the MTC, and for an extended time as a president of the Young Men organization. If you asked Phil what he enjoyed most in his church service, it was working with the youth. Phillip Keith "Phil" Anderson passed from this life March 7, 2020. He was 75.
