Phyllis Allhands was born and raised in Springfield, where she built a life filled with love and family. She was the beloved daughter of Thomas and Reta Bruer, who preceded her in death.

Phyllis spent much of her life working in retail and as a homemaker. She will be remembered for her caring heart, and the laughter she brought to all who knew her.

Her greatest happiness came from her family. She is survived by daughter, Hope Martin and husband Jesse; and granddaughter, Randi, all of Springfield and daughter, Melissa Eason and husband Scott, Florida; grandkids, Clayton, Allegra, Blake and Cassandra. Phyllis was a devoted grandmother to Randi, who brought immense pride and joy to her life.

Phyllis's memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends — in the love she shared and the laughter she inspired.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
