Although Phyllis worked a lot, she enjoyed many hobbies and events. She loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. If you ever had the chance to stand next to her in church, you could hear her beautiful soprano voice radiate in such an angelic way that was so captivating. She loved to travel, and Phyllis loved listening to Toni Braxton and going out to see one of her most loved performers, Patti LaBelle, perform at Busch Gardens. The joy and smile she would have on her face as Patti LaBelle would yell out, What’s My Name and the crowd would scream Patti Patti, was priceless!!!
Phyllis Springs is a true woman of class. She was very well educated and always wanted her children to obtain the highest honors, respect, and distinction. Phyllis was the fun aunt, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to so many people. She will truly be missed by all!
