Phyllis A. Muscolino

Phyllis A. Muscolino, 78, of Algonquin, Illinois, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025.
She was born on January 18, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois to George and Anne (Catanzaro) Thompsen. She married Donald Muscolino on November 26, 1966. During their almost 50-year marriage, she enjoyed an active social life and traveling with her husband. He preceded her in death on October 9, 2016.
Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends. She even made sure to work close by so she would be able to meet her children as they arrived home from school. She was a deeply devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be deeply missed by her many loved ones.
She is survived by her daughter, Julie (Joseph) Partipilo; her brother, George (Penny Johns) Thompsen; three grandchildren, Isabella (Dylan Lein-Hellios) Partipilo, Samuel Partipilo, and Anthony D. Muscolino; two step-grandchildren, Samantha (Gene) Reichert and Skylar Golbeck; as well as many other dearly cherished family members.
In addition to her parents and husband, Phyllis was preceded in death by her son, Anthony S. (Candace Golbeck) Muscolino; and an infant granddaughter, Sophia Muscolino.
Visitation will be held on Friday, September 26, 2025 from 10am until time of prayer service at Noon, at DeFiore Funeral Home – 10763 Dundee-Huntley Road, Huntley, Illinois 60142. Per Phyllis's wishes, the family requests no flowers be sent, only kind words and fond memories.
