Phyllis Paulyne Evans

Phyllis Evans, beloved mother, grandmother, and faithful friend, was born October 27,

1931, in Wichita, Kansas, and died in Plano, Texas, on January 7, 2026. She was 94.

Phyllis carried a steady, grateful spirit through a long life marked by devo=on to family

and a deep Chris=an faith. A devoted mother of six, she had a gift for encouragement.

She offered practical wisdom, gentle reassurance, and the kind of care that made people

feel supported without fanfare. She believed in the power of prayer and faithfully lifted

up those she loved, especially in difficult seasons.

In a season when pain and the limits of aging were close companions, she returned

often to Psalm 91:16: "with long life will I satisfy thee and show you, My salvation." The

verse reminded her to give thanks for a long life and to trust God through change.

She was also a lifelong writer at heart. Her warmth showed up in small, faithful ways: a

kind word at the right moment, gratitude expressed plainly, and tenderness that many

will recall as uniquely her. For everyday joy, a Wendy's Frosty could usually do the trick,

a simple favorite that never failed to make her smile.

In later years, Phyllis met new limitations with determination and dignity. She remained

focused on what mattered most: faith, family, and the quiet routines that bring stability

and peace. She leaves a legacy of steadfast love, humble strength, and sincere kindness.

Phyllis was preceded in death by her son, Lee Evans Jr.

Phyllis is survived by her children Robert Evans and his wife Cindy, Sheri Evans, Michael

Evans, Lauri Sandquist and her husband Jeff, and David Evans, and by her

grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Phyllis Evans will be remembered for her gentle faith, her steady encouragement, and

the love she gave so freely.
