Phyllis LaPorta (nee Corso) age 89 of Wayne died Saturday, December 25, 2010 at home.
She was born in Lodi and had lived there before moving to Wayne(since 1975).
She received her formal education graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School in Lodi with the Class of 1937.
Mrs. LaPorta was a secretary at Marchese and Cavallo Realtors and Insurance Agency in Lodi before her retirement.
She was a parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne and was a member of the Wayne Golden Agers and the Sisco Village Pinochle and Canasta Club.
Her hobbies included cooking for her family and the immense joy of being a Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She just loved her Thursday lunches with her children and playing Kalooki with Dad. She truly made everyone who met her feel special. Her caring and nurturing nature brings a special closeness in her family life. Her children toot the horn as a last goodbye as they leave from visits. On the day before she went to heaven she baked a whole slew of goodies for our Christmas dinner and looked forward to spending the day with family. In the weeks before her passing instead of sending Christmas cards Mom called all friends and families and wished them blessings and joy for the holiday season leaving them with a lasting memory of her joy and spirit. But the greatest blessing of all was the gift of faith that she gave to each one of us. Her rosary was ever at hand and the blessed names of Jesus and the Blessed Mother were always on her lips and in her heart and for this we will always be thankful.
Phyllis left the following message to her family. “ I enjoyed every moment of life with you through tears and laughter because it brought personal joy into my heart” “I loved all of you”
She will be missed dearly by her husband Joseph, daughters Lucille and her husband Charles Palmeri, Maria and her husband Louis D. March, Terry Sabatini, Debbie and her husband Ronald Aiosa, sons Joseph and Charles LaPorta, her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She is also survived by brothers Joseph and his wife Betty Corso of North Carolina, Vincent and his wife Pat Corso of Paramus, NJ, Frank and his wife Marie Corso of Lodi, NJ, her sister Anne Wiggins of Florida; her brother Michael Corso predeceased her; her sister-in-law, Michael’s wife Marie Corso, also survives; she was predeceased by her sister Annette and her husband Jack Mazzola.
