Phyllis Manetta

Phyllis Manetta passed away peacefully at the age of 89. Born in Italy, Phyllis bravely came to the United States on her own at just 16 years old, where she continued her education and attended high school. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Mario and her dear son Joseph.
Phyllis is survived by her loving children Roseann, Thomas, and Lisa, and her cherished grandchildren Joseph, Daniel, Olivia, Thomas, and Isabella.
Phyllis was a quiet and gentle woman who saw the best in everyone. She would drop anything to perform a favor for a friend, always putting others before herself. She was truly a mother to all, extending her warmth and care beyond her family to everyone she met – including the employees at Manetta's Restaurant in Long Island City, where she owned and operated the family restaurant at the same location for 33 years. Her dedication and hard work brought her great happiness.
Phyllis will be remembered for her kindness, her humility, her generosity, and the deep love she shared with her family, friends, and community.
