Celebrating Phyllis Watkins’ 27 Years of Dedication at Dungarvin Colorado Springs

Dungarvin Colorado Receptionist Phyllis Watkins has taken her final office call. This last week, Phyllis celebrated 27 years with the organization. “Phyllis has been here so long that she has become the face of Dungarvin Colorado Springs,” shared Director Bruce Mayberry.

“When I first started, I had never heard of Dungarvin,” said Phyllis. “I was thinking, ‘what have I gotten myself into?’ But they were amazing, immediately. Whether you had an appointment, or your grandkids needed you, you had the flexibility to do what you needed to do. I got to know the clients on a very personal level, and everything was family-oriented.”

“Phyllis was someone that knew everyone at Dungarvin Colorado. You can’t go into the community without someone stopping her or her recognizing someone to have a conversation. She was beloved by everyone!” shared Bruce. “While directors, employees, persons supported, and the addresses have changed, Phyllis stood the test of time and made the transition through many uncalculated changes.”

“I’m at a loss for words,” shared Phyllis. “It was a great career, and I loved the people. I looked forward to seeing the clients and they looked forward to seeing me. They mentioned they were going to miss all my fun activities, like bubble gum day or popcorn day. They loved seeing me at the front office, and I sure will miss it!”

Thank you, Phyllis, for bringing a smile to everyone around you for the last 27 years. Dungarvin Colorado will forever be impacted by you!
