Obituary of Phyllis A Pasquariello

Heaven gained a true angel as Phyllis A. Pasquariello, age 72 of Wayne, passed on November 2, 2024. Phyllis was born in Portland Tenn, to Margaret a southern kindhearted soul and Joseph Rome an Italian Army craftsman from the North. She moved from Tenn to Paterson NJ at age seven and this shaped her future. She graduated from Kennedy High school where she was a cheerleader and was married for 20 years of her life. She had such a profound work ethic, and gave her life to the Passaic County Prosecutors office, her work with St. Gerard's R.C. Church and St. John's Cathedral. She formed forever friendships with many, through her work and offices and she cherished them dearly. She was kind and thoughtful to all of those around her, family, and strangers alike. She always found a way to give of herself for the good of others. Phyllis loved children and was a Loving mother to Tracy Pasquariello and an adoring Grandmother to Karmyn Pasquariello. She took joy in baking for her family from scratch, trying new recipes or hiding presents in a scavenger hunt. She adored all things creative and loved knitting, string art, and followed in her mother's footsteps as a skilled seamstress. She also enjoyed intellectual games, such as scrabble, and crossword puzzles. She found peace in gardening, planting her beautiful flowers, and all of her house plants. Phyllis's love could be felt by all those around her.
