Phyllis N. Dober, age 77, of Carol Stream, passed away September 21, 2025.

Phyllis was born on April 12, 1948, in Chicago, IL to Evelyn and Walter Newman. She was raised on the north side along with her younger brother Bob and older brother Pat. It was while working at Hammond Organ that she struck up a conversation with the handsome man who was there working on the telephones. She married the love of her life, Richard Bloniarz, on November 1, 1970. Before Richard was tragically killed in a car accident, they had three children, Jenni (Vince), Richard (Angela), and Veronica.

To say her family was her life was an understatement. She had a special connection with each of her grandchildren: Sydney & Izzy Engstrom, Ava and Lucas Bloniarz, and Jackson Roby. She loved attending their baseball and softball games, school plays, and making jewelry and sharing books with them. They were her greatest joy.

After working for years, from waitressing to managing a local funeral home, sometimes having two and three jobs to support her family, Phyllis retired but wasn’t done yet. Throughout her life she was known for volunteering- as a young mother driving public aid cancer patients to their doctor appointments to being a Cub Scouts Den Mother before she even had children, her drive knew no bounds. Later in life she took enjoyment in being part of the Carol Stream Certified Emergency Response Team where she continued to volunteer wherever she was needed. Veteran organizations and animal charities held a special place in her heart.

Her love reached beyond people, too. Phyllis had a soft spot for every living thing. She fed the birds and the squirrels, always making sure the feeders were full, and the yard was a welcoming place. Even the stray animals knew her yard was a safe haven. That was just who she was — someone who cared deeply, even for the smallest creatures.

What made her love so powerful was not just how much of it she gave, but how naturally it came to her. Loving people — her children, grandchildren, friends, even the animals outside her window — wasn’t something she tried to do. It was simply who she was.

A Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM with a Funeral Service at 5:00 PM at Bucaro Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 485 W. Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108.
