Dr. Estella Gallardo Phlipot

Dr. Estella Gallardo Phlipot passed away on June 7 ^th , 2022 in Columbus, Ohio at the age of 60 after a courageous 2.5 year battle with cancer.

Estella is survived by her husband, Mark Phlipot; her children Jessica and Sam Bivens, Justin Phlipot and Eric Phlipot; her parents Vicente and Maureen Gallardo; her brothers and sisters Vinny and Pearl Gallardo, Kathleen and Tom Schaefer, and Ramon and Kelly Gallardo; her mother and father in-law Gene and Mary Lou Phlipot, and her brothers in-law and sisters in-law Kathy and Ron Baumer, Paul and Pam Phlipot, Andy and Brianna Phlipot, Vicky Goubeaux and Keith Phlipot. She is preceded in death by her brother in-law Dan Goubeaux.

Estella was born on April 25 ^th , 1962 in Hartford, Connecticut and grew up in Hamilton, Ohio. She graduated from the University of Dayton in 1984 and went on to graduate from medical school at The Ohio State University in 1988. She married the love of her life, Mark Phlipot, in 1991.

Estella had her own private medical practice, North Hampton Family Care, in North Hampton, OH for 17 years before taking a position at Wright Patterson Air Force Base as a family physician from 2017 until her passing. Estella was an avid runner, devoted grandmother to grandson Julian (Jessica and Sam), the second love of her life, and all-around party animal. She was a social butterfly and loved nothing more than getting together with her family and friends. She was adored by her patients, co-workers, friends and family. Our hearts will forever be shattered by this tragedy, but we find joy in the memories made and the lives she touched. We want to thank the oncology team at The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Center and the staff at Hospice of Central Ohio for providing her the best care and ensuring that her last days on earth were full of comfort and peace.
