Toni Brandolino Obituary

Toni Ann Brandolino
Toni Ann Brandolino, age 70, of Morris, passed away peacefully September 3, 2025, with her loving family by her side.
Toni was a loving and devoted mother, and grandmother, affectionately known by her family as "Grandma T.T." She greatly enjoyed spending time with her family, including annual gatherings with her cousins.
Toni attended St. Raymond Catholic grade school, St. Francis Academy and Lewis University. She proudly attained her Master's degree in Social Work through Aurora University. Toni touched countless people through her long-time career as a social worker at Senior Services of Will County and Senior Services of Grundy County. Yet, music was her true passion. As an accomplished pianist and following in her father's footsteps, Toni spent her life teaching music –establishing the Brandolino School of Music in Morris.
Toni is survived by her children Bobby Brandolino, Jim (Lauren) McFarland and Katie (Keith) Anderson; her grandchildren Gianni and Eliana Brandolino, Quinn and Emersyn McFarland, and Cole and Will Anderson; her four siblings; and her long time companion Richard Black; cousins Gil (Paulette) DiGiannantonio, Albert (Julie) DiGiannantonio, James (Darlene) LoCascio, Terrie (Michael) Rydzon, and Sandy (Bob) McPherson. Numerous cousins loved and adored her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sandro and Helen (nee Liberatore) Brandolino.

There will also be a visitation before the service on Wednesday September 10, 2025, from 9:00 am to 9:45 am at the funeral home. A mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday September 10, 2025, at 10:00 am at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Morris. Toni will be laid to rest at Mt.
