Phyllis Regner

June 2, 1951 – September 17, 2025

Phyllis Regner, of Joplin, Missouri, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. She was born on June 2, 1951, to Jim Riley and Catherine Faulkner.

Phyllis was married to the love of her life, Patrick Denise Regner, with whom she shared countless adventures. She loved life on the road, riding in the truck with Patrick as they traveled across the country together, and she especially cherished their cruises, where she found joy in exploring new places and creating lasting memories.

A devoted housewife, Phyllis poured her heart into her family. She is survived by her three children, Tracy, Sherry, and Hurshel Hall; her many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Phyllis had a playful spirit and a sharp sense of humor. She was known for her ice creations, her love of simple joys, and her notorious "crop-dusting" stories that brought laughter to all who knew her. She also threw the most epic Bronco parties and was well known for her legendary poker nights. Anyone who really knew her could proudly say, "I was there." She reminded her family and friends that the best memories weren't found in grand moments, but in the little ones shared together.

She will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
