Join us in celebrating Phyllis—We welcome you to share your memories here. Feel free to share the link with any of her friend's and family.
Phyllis Jean Boccoleri, 90 years of age, passed on Monday, August 10th, 2020 at Rosewood Gardens by Watermark, Livermore CA of natural cause. Phyllis was born June 8th 1930, in Chicago Heights, IL to the late Tony and Anna Capriotti. She was the youngest of three children, preceded by her two brothers Art and Rudy Capriotti. She attended Galileo High School in San Francisco. She cherished her late nieces Cori and Leah Capriotti.
Phyllis married the late Attilio “Til” Enrico Boccoleri (2/25/1918 – 8/1/2008) on May 17th, 1952 in San Francisco, Ca and Gary Steven Boccoleri was born from this union on June 3, 1956.
Phyllis devoted her life to her family. She worked at the Emporium in the sales department, which was fitting for her love of fashion, but found the most satisfaction in being a loving homemaker and mother.
She enjoyed traveling, sun bathing, swimming (especially in her cousin Linda Braun’s pool), enjoying cocktails with friends, dancing, spending holidays with family, taking trips to clear lake, and was proud of her home.
A memorable moment in her life was the marriage of her son to daughter in law, Kim Boccoleri, in 1982.
Phyllis and Til resided in Daily City, CA until 1997 when they moved to Livermore, CA to be closer to their son, daughter in law and grandchildren. She created a home there, loved her neighbors, spoiled her granddaughters, and was a proud member of the Italian Catholic Federation.
She is preceded by her cherished son Gary Steven Boccoleri, daughter in law Kim Boccoleri, and her granddaughters Gina and Daniela Boccoleri.
She’ll be remembered for making friends with everyone she met, always speaking her mind, never leaving the house without lipstick, being a devoted Noni, and loving her small and extended family to the fullest.
Our family thanks everyone who added meaning and joy to Phyllis’ life as well as anyone who helped the family in her later years.
