Phyllis F. Marino, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2025, at the age of 84. Born on May 24, 1941, Phyllis spent her life surrounded by the people she cherished most and the simple joys that brought her comfort and creativity.

Phyllis was the devoted mother of three sons—Salvatore, Frank, and Tommy and her 6 stepchildren—who were the center of her world. Her family continued to grow through her many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, each one holding a special place in her heart. To them, she was a source of unconditional love, gentle guidance, and endless warmth. Her home was always a place where laughter, stories, and hugs were never in short supply.

A woman of talent and patience, Phyllis found joy in the crafts she loved. She was an avid crocheter, creating blankets, scarves, and keepsakes that will continue to wrap her family in her memory. She enjoyed coloring and ceramics, expressing her creativity in vibrant pieces that filled her home with color and character. Her quiet hobbies were a reflection of her spirit—thoughtful, careful, and full of heart.

Phyllis also held a deep love for animals, treating every creature with gentleness and compassion. Whether it was a family pet or a stray passing through, she had a way of making all feel welcome and cared for.

To those who knew her, Phyllis was a steady presence—kind, giving, and endlessly loving. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she passed down, the memories shared, and the lives she touched so deeply.

She will be profoundly missed and forever loved.
