Phyllis Springer (née Taylor), 74, was born March 22, 1952, in Andrews, Texas. She passed away on June 19, 2026, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Phyllis proudly served her country as a member of the United States Air Force and spent her career as a medical assistant. Faith was at the center of her life, and one of her greatest joys was leading her church small group, where she loved encouraging and guiding others in their walk with God. Those who knew her best remember a wonderful, caring woman who never slowed down—she loved hiking and traveling to different states to take in new scenery, and she was always ready to rally her big family together for the next adventure. Her dog, Aspen, was a faithful companion by her side through it all.
Phyllis is survived by her two older brothers, Robert Taylor and John Taylor; her daughter, Laura Webber; her son, Charles Springer; her 6 grandchildren; and her 6 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her dearest Leroy Springer; her sister, Wanda Arnold; and her parents, Maxine and Robert Taylor.

Phyllis has been a great friend over the years I’ve known her, and the loss of her has been hard. We used to get together around 2013 on when our friend Linda Fuetz and I organized a monthly luncheon. It started with the three of us and grew to over 30 within a short time! When our dear Linda passed, Phyllis took her place in leading the fellowships, and so many were drawn to her encouraging words. She mentored others to get out of their comfort zones and to try new things, and many did!
Her love and her quiet acceptance of others is something that is hard to come by. She helped so many of us through tough times, and I hope her children know (I’m sure they do) how much of a blessing she was to everyone she met.
Phyllis has made an indelible mark on my life, and though I miss her terribly, I know she’s in the arms of her Savior, and back with her love, Leroy.
