Jane Ellen Phillips, aged 51, died on September 10, 2015, in Galesburg, Illinois. She was born on May 2, 1964, and was the daughter of Jerry and Alice Hollingsworth. Jane was married to Jeffery Phillips and had three children: Brandon, Brianna, and Bailey Phillips. She was well-liked by her co-workers and was involved in her children's activities. Jane also enjoyed spending time with her two granddaughters, Emma and Rylan.
On September 10, 2015, Jane and her husband Jeffery were found
dead from gunshot wounds in Galesburg. The police were called to their home on South Dietrich Avenue after reports of shots being fired. Jane was found seated in a gray 2012 four-door car near a field, while Jeffery was found in front of their house. A pistol was recovered on the street in front of their home. Initially, the police did not rule out the possibility of other persons being involved, but later investigations concluded that it was a murder-suicide.
Jeffery Phillips, aged 51, shot Jane before turning the gun on himself. The couple had been experiencing financial difficulties and were in the process of finalizing a divorce. Jane had previously filed orders of protection against Jeffery in 2006 and again in 2015. Despite the turmoil, Jane's daughter Brianna recalled fond memories of her parents and expressed disbelief at her father's actions.
The tragic incident deeply affected the family and the community, leaving behind three children and two granddaughters. The case was closed as a murder-suicide, with no further arrests or investigations.
