Phyllis Jannusch nee Wolstenholme,88 , of Morton Grove formerly of Des Plaines, passed away surrounded by her loving family on August 12, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late Willard O. "Doc" Jannusch; loving mother of Mary Lou Sasso (Dan) Kratochwill and Ann Marie Sasso Ellis and step mother of Sharon (Tom) Jones and Brian Jannusch; cherished grandmother of Bradley (Jordan) Eilers, Adam (Melissa) Ellis, Kelly Ellis, Kristina (Eric) Burns, Jada Ellis, Marcy Barnett and the late Rev. Bill Jones; proud great grandmother of Silas, Ruby and Howard; dear sister of the late Jean Hermanson; fond aunt of several nieces and nephews.

Her faith was an important part of her life. A lifelong Episcopalian, she was a devoted member of St. David's Episcopal Church in Glenview, where she was actively involved in the Altar Guild. She was also an avid baker, generously sharing her creations with family and friends. For many years, she served as a dedicated member of her condominium board, contributing her time and care to her community.

Visitation will be held Saturday, August 30 from 10 am until time of the service 11 am at St. David's Episcopal Church, 2410 Glenview Road (at Shermer Rd.), Glenview. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. David's Episcopal Church Altar Guild, 2410 Glenview Road, Glenview, IL 60025.

We just heard about Phyllis's passing today. We were saddened to know that Phyllis was no longer with us. My husband, Marvin, worked very closely with Phyllis on the HOA Board for Morton Grove Estates. Words cannot express how special she was to us. Every Christmas she'd share her special cookies. She was a very special friend. We will miss her. God bless your entire family. Sincerely, Marvin and Shirlene Baker, Sr.

Proverbs 31:25-29 aptly describes Phyllis. Faithful, gifted, loving, a wonderful altar guild chair, a treasured companion in all rhings liturgical, and on more than one occasion a wise councilor. Phyllis, my dear. Well done. May you rest in peace and rise in glory.
