On February 16, 1963 in St. Mary of Mount Carmel Church she was married to Michael Fasolo, Sr. They had a love like no other, holding hands their entire life. Phyllis’s life was blessed and filled with so much love from her family and friends. Her smile lit up a room and everyone that met her felt her beautiful heart. She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Together with her husband, she raised five children and their children. Her love for her family was always her first priority. She loved with her whole heart, sharing laughter, hugs and kisses every day. Her beautiful spirit lives on through her family and her memory will live in their hearts—especially Sunday sauces and her famous “solid” dressing. She is survived by her husband Michael; her children, Michael and Terri Fasolo, Rachel Rogers, Phil Fasolo, Phyllis and Brian Saville, and Marc and Joelle Fasolo; her grandchildren, Amanda and Jason Babson, Michael and Taylor Fasolo; Matt Rogers and Kaleigh Miller, Derek Rogers; Isabella, Dominick, and Benjamin Fasolo; Sean, Samantha, and Sarah Saville; and Emma, and Brady Fasolo and the memory of her granddaughter Addison Fasolo (2008); and great-granchildren, twins Jack, and Bennett Babson.
