October 29, 2021



Phyllis Jane Wieder Glaser, 86, of Colorado Springs, passed away on Friday, October 29, 2021. She was born to the late L. Helen and Walter Wieder on August 9, 1935.

Phyllis leaves behind daughter, Elizabeth (Robert), son, James (Joyce), and daughter, Eileen ( Donnie). Granddaughter, Nichole (Jason), Great granddaughters, Haley & Madison, Granddaughter Nikki (Brad), Great granddaughters, Cyndel & Jovi, Grandson Greg (Leah) and Great granddaughter Jane and Great grandson Eli, Granddaughters, Valerie & Eilleen and Great granddaughter Braelin along with other family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Shirley (Paul), Grandson Brian, daughter -in-law Joyce and her husband Jim of 64 years.

Phyllis was a military wife and stay at home mom. Being married to a military man afforded opportunities for travel. A particular move took the family overseas to Turkey. Fond memories and stories of this place were often spoke of with laughter and smiles!

Upon retirement, her & Jim chose Colorado Springs as the place they would spend their retirement years.

Phyllis was involved in many church activities. She really loved the Wednesday night prayer group every week at Holy Apostles.



Movies were a huge pass time, either at home or out in a theater with family or friends. Ice cream was usually involved either before or afterwards. She loved ice cream and chocolate was one of her favorite flavors.

Lunches at Olive Garden were always a hit with her and the lady's group after a first Friday mass. It usually consisted of soup, salad and breadsticks and if she had room for dessert, tiramisu was her favorite.

She spent many a day or evening crocheting baby blankets or afghan blankets for friends and family. Not only did she crochet, but, her sewing machine got lots of use as well.

One of the things she often said was, " I love you more " when saying bye.



A viewing will be held from 09:00 am to 09:45 am November 16, 2021 at Holy Apostles Catholic church prior to the funeral mass at 10:00am.

Services for Phyllis will be on November 16, 2021 at 10:00 am with a Catholic mass funeral service at Holy Apostles Catholic church. Interment to follow at 1:00pm at Pikes Peak National Cemetery.



In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Holy Apostles Catholic Church.
