Obituary for Phyllis Marie Ensel (D'Aprile)

Zephyrhills, Florida - Phyllis Marie D’Aprile Ensel, 81, most recently of Zephyrhills, FL, passed away on February 5, 2018 at Gulfside Hospice surrounded by her loving family.
Born on August 23, 1936 in Albany, NY, Phyllis was the daughter of Jennie Gentile Boffengier. Phyllis graduated from Mechanicville High School and worked for many years as an administrative assistant in Burger King management. She considered her family to be her greatest accomplishment.
Phyllis is survived by her husband, Joseph Ensel, to whom she was married for over 59 very happy years; daughters Laura Ensel of Ossining, NY, Susan Ensel of Frederick, MD, and Linda Ensel of Louisville, CO. Phyllis and Joe raised their family in Latham, NY, spent winters in Florida as retirees, and recently relocated to Zephyrhills, FL where they would never again have to shovel snow.
Phyllis enjoyed crafting, reading, group card games, word finds, and going to lunch with her friends. Phyllis was devoted to her faith and was a long-time member of Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Latham.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2018 at 11 am in the Bowen & Parker Bros. Funeral Home, 97 Old Loudon Road, Latham. Interment, at Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery, will be private. Friends are invited to attend the service and may also visit with Phyllis’s family on Thursday, prior to the service, from 10 am until 11 am.
