NAUGATUCK — Phyllis T. (Conforti) (Grego) Rahn, 95, the widow of Michael Grego and Frederick Rahn, died peacefully on Nov. 12, 2018, at Saint Mary’s Hospital.
Phyllis was born on Jan. 24, 1923 in Waterbury, a daughter of the late Michael and Benedetta (Ferrara) Conforti, and had lived most of her life in Naugatuck. Phyllis formerly worked at Peter Paul and also as a senior companion for N.O.W. Inc.
Phyllis was a former member of the Cristoforo Colombo Ladies Auxiliary and was a communicant of St. Francis of Assisi Church. She was an active member of the St. Vincent Ferrer Church Prayer Group, where on Tuesdays she sang the Divine Mercy.

Phyllis is survived by her daughters, Diane Grego and Joyce Grego Batliwala; her son, Wayne Rahn; her grandchildren, Casey Rahn and Summer Sturgill (Ben); her daughter-in-law, Delia Liuzza; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved cat, Holly.
In addition to her parents and her husbands, Phyllis was predeceased by her sons, Thomas Rahn, Fred Rahn and John Rahn; and her brothers and sisters, Al Conforti, Josephine Napolitano, Rose Gervase and Anthony Conforti.
