Suzie married George Phillips in 1953 and they had two children, Albert and Gary, by 1958. Suzie was a member of the United Armenian Congregational Church at the time of her donation to Shades of LA in 1995. George Phillips (Philipbosian)'s family immigrated from Turkey to the New York in 1912 before moving to Philadelphia and finally Los Angeles by the 1920s. George was born in abt 1928 at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital and attended to Los Angeles High School and UCLA Law. George's family owned Phillips Clothing Store near Hancock Park, where there was a large Armenian community at the time.
George Phillips is pictured as an infant as he gets a bath on the front porch from his mom on a bright sunny July day in Mission Beach. Mrs. Phillips, whose face is in shadow, bathes young George in a large round tub; a small bar of soap can be seen on the floor at the forefront.
