Phyllis Uline Palitsch, 90, a longtime resident of Hopkinton, died peacefully at home with her husband, John A. “Jack” Palitsch, by her side. He survives her, following 71 loving years of marriage. Born in Troy, New York, Phyllis was the daughter of the late Donald and Elizabeth Uline.

She was the mother of the late Donna Lynn, and is survived by her son, John R. Palitsch of Vernon, Connecticut, and daughter, Suzanne Palitsch Barnes and husband, Jeffery, of Hopkinton. She also is survived by her grandchildren, Kate Palitsch Czaplinski and her husband, Jeffery, Jason F. Palitsch, Jacqueline P. Barnes and Elizabeth M. Barnes; and her great-grandson, Roy James Czaplinski. She also is survived by her sister, Marilyn U. Hasbrouck and her husband, Douglas, and many loving nieces and nephews. Phyllis also was a sister of the late Betty U. Engineri and Virginia U. Knippel.

During World War II, Phyllis was a member of the Civil Air Patrol of Troy, trained as an aircraft identity spotter. She graduated from Troy High School, where she and Jack met. Phyllis worked for R.T. Bower CPA Accounting, and then became superintendent of United Memorial Methodist Church in Sycaway.
