I have been aquainted with the Ralph Giles family in Heber City my whole life (80 years now). His sister Gwen and I graduated from High School together. Phil was exactly 10 years older than me and I never knew him until I met he and Jean at Church in Yuma, Arizona in 2007. During Priesthood meeting as I was being introduced as a new member to the branch, I spotted this tall handsome man with flowing white hair. I thought it was Ralph Giles for sure...but it can't be! I thought this has got to be Ralph's son Phil I have heard about. I approached him after meeting and sure enough it was Gwen's brother Phil. Phil introducted me to Jean and we got to know them better over the winters we spent in Yuma. As someone has already mentioned, Jean was truely a "classy lady" in every respect. My condolences to Phil and their family. She will be missed by many.

One of the earliest memories I have of my Aunt Jean is when Phil was having eye surgery in San Francisco which was critical for Phil’s long term vision. I recognized the love Aunt Jean had for Phil, putting his needs before her own. Jean was positive and encouraging and put her trust in the Lord. Her example of faith in action has helped me in my own trials. I love her and will miss her very much.
Vernal and I lived in Yuma,'s Del Oro Estates for many years enjoying Jean and Phil with fond memories. We liked to stop by their house and visit if they were out sitting in the warm sunshine. She was a sweet lady!
All of us at Washington Elementary love Jean! She is a dear friend who worked diligently to help our students love reading. She is a loving, caring person who enriched every life she touched. She will be greatly missed here! My heart goes out to Phil and her family.
Love to you all!

I have so many memories as a youth of Phil and Jean playing cards with my parents. They both hold a very special place in my heart! Much love to your family! 💙
Never have two people been better suited for each other and no higher complement can I think to give. Matched in kindness, intelligence and class,
I can’t think of Phil without Jean nor Jean without Phil.
My heart goes out to your family, I know your loss is deeply felt. I will always consider my life blessed for having known you both.
Love, Ashley
