Delores Marie Phillips, age 91, of Monroe passed away on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at her daughter’s home where she has resided for the past 21 years. She was born the daughter of Howard and Alice (Rogers) Roenneburg on January 27, 1934. She was a 1951 graduate of Albany High School. Delores was united in marriage to Robert Lee Phillips on May 3, 1951; together they had three children.

Delores worked for Advance Transformers for many years and later as a cashier for Rufenacht Oil. She also proudly took care of her family and her home. She was happy to help watch her grandchildren and great-grandchildren for many years. Delores loved to cook for her family and always made sure everyone had more than enough.

She liked to travel and had many favorite destinations including: Hawaii, Jamaica, Bahamas, Acapulco, Branson, Nashville, and visiting Florida every year for many years. Delores also enjoyed many weekends with her longtime friend and companion, Harold Rufenacht at a lake house in Prairie du Sac. She was always the first to have a pole in the water to fish and they spent countless hours together taking the pontoon boat around the lake.

In her later years she enjoyed crossword puzzles, word searches, and feeding and watching birds outside her home. She was a modest, blue-jeans kind of person but always made sure to have herself put together, she liked to have her makeup done and jewelry on no matter the occasion.
