Philip Don Musgrove
May 25, 1952 - July 6, 2022
Philip Don Musgrove, of Pendleton,
Oregon, passed away July 6, 2022, after an
accident suffered at home.
Phil was born on May 25, 1952, in La
Junta, Colorado, to Benja-
min and Juanda Musgrove.
After the sudden death of his
father his family moved to
Longview, Washington.
Phil graduated high
school in Longview, Wash-
ington. It was in high school
where Phil met his future
wife, Anita Jane Williams.
They started holding hands
when he was 17 and she
was 15, and they were still
holding hands at the time of
Phil’s passing.
Phil graduated from the University of
Washington with a degree in forestry. Phil
loved his job as a forester and spent his
career working for the US Forest Service.
He had many roles as a forester, some of
which included fighting forest fires, man-
aging forest resources as a contracting offi-
cer for timber sales, and logistics chief for
the Type 1 Team overseeing coordination
functions at major incidents. One of the
first major projects Phil worked on during
his career was the timber harvest layout af-
ter the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. As
a logistics chief, he went to New York City
to provide logistical support during the
aftermath of the 9/11 attack, and to Texas
after the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster.
During Phil’s career, he and Anita lived
in Cougar, Washington, Union, Oregon,
and Pendleton, Oregon. It was in Pendle-
ton, Oregon, where Phil and Anita found
their forever home, which Phil affection-
ately referred to as “Windy Ridge.” It was
a labor of love, Phil and Anita working to-
gether throughout the years as they remod-
eled their home and developed the land
at Windy Ridge. Phil was always the first
to acknowledge that Anita was the one in
charge, and Anita always agreed with him.
After 37 years with the Forest Service,
Phil retired and started his own business,
PDM HANDY.
He enjoyed helping his neighbors and
friends with their home remodel projects,
golf cart repairs, automotive
repairs and many other proj-
ects. When the project was
particularly challenging his
favorite phrase was, “Let me
go noodle it and I’ll get back
to you with some ideas.”
A favorite pastime of Phil
and Anita’s was playing golf.
The favored color of Anita’s
when they went golfing was
pink. Phil saw to it that Ani-
ta had a pink golf bag, pink
colored golf grips, pink balls
— everything pink. As a re-
sult of all the pink it comes as no surprise
that Phil began affectionately calling Ani-
ta, “Pinkie.”
Phil enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing
and farming, especially haying. He en-
joyed visiting and spending time with his
neighbors, friends, and family. His favorite
time of day was in the evenings when he
and Anita sat under their favorite tree en-
joying each other’s company. They called
it their “tree time.”
Phil was preceded in death by his fa-
ther, Benjamin; mother, Juanda; brothers,
Marc Musgrove and Harley Cameron Mus-
grove; brother-in-law, Don Webster; his
aunt, Kathy Schultz; father-in-law, Earl
Williams; and brother-in-law, Donald Wil-
liams.
Survivors include his wife, Anita; sis-
ters, Bennie Webster and Cindy (Cher-
yl) Musgrove; mother-in-law, Geri Wil-
liams; sister-in-law, Kay (David) Prater;
sister-in-law, Patti (Bill) Powell, and nu-
merous nephews and nieces who all adored
him.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be
made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hos-
pital or a charity of your choice.
Per the family’s request a private ser-
vice will be held July 23, 2022.
