Victoria Virginia Pilallis Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Victoria Virginia Pilallis passed away on December 12, 2016, at the age of 27. Our hearts are heavy with sadness and confusion as we try to understand why our young, loving, and talented Tori was taken away from us. We only ask that God please care for her while giving us strength and guidance through this difficult time. Tori has always been a bundle of energy and a radiant light. She had a contagious smile, the most striking blue eyes, and the voice of an angel. But her real beauty was neither seen nor heard, but felt by so many--especially her family. The bond she shared with us was one-of-a-kind. Tori was never just a daughter or sister...she was “The Queen”, a Motherly Figure, the Boss, an Inspiration, and definitely our Best Friend. Growing up, Tori’s most loved activities were singing, skiing in the Poconos, spending time with friends, playing Mullica Township & Oakcrest sports, going to Flyers and Phillies games, karaoke, and shopping with Nanny’s credit cards! But her biggest passion has always been softball, which later inspired her to coach a youth league. It is no exaggeration that Tori was a handful. You could never win an argument and certainly never get the last word. She was strong-willed, strong-minded, and there was no way she was backing down. She was going to win, succeed, or overcome any obstacle or challenge… that was our Tori! She was tough, with an exterior that few people could scratch, but even fewer were allowed in. She would rather give love than receive it. But Tori had a softer side, which was evident by how magnetic she was to children. Kids adored her! She loved spoiling her God-daughter Mariah-- they spent summers playing in the pool, shopping, singing together, taking videos and selfies. Tori also put her heart and soul into coaching the young girls in the Cherry Hill American Little League Softball Team. Tori’s baby blue eyes would light up whenever she talked about “her little munchkins”--which was often! Tori dreamed of having kids of her own one day, and they would have been the luckiest kids in the world. Anyone who knew Tori would describe her as a work-aholic. For over 10 years, the Sweetwater Casino & River Deck was her home, the coworkers were her second family, the customers were her world. Tori’s definition of “fun” was working or talking about business! She aspired for a career in management while proudly serving the Sweetwater community, but she had much bigger plans in mind. We all knew she was destined for success. Tori faced many challenges in life, with the most devastating being the loss of her Nanny. Tori witnessed her best friend--the woman who had given her all the motivation, strength, and support-- suffer and pass from Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. During this heartbreaking ordeal for our entire family, Tori stayed strong and was the rock that held our family together. She put her life and dreams on hold to make sure everyone else was okay and happy, especially her sisters. She was the epitome of selflessness. Tori is survived by her father, Richard Pilallis (Carol); mother, Michelle Csaszar-Bolton (Thomas); sisters, Jennifer & Erica Pilallis; and maternal grandmother, Marlene Csaszar. She also leaves to cherish her memory, her aunts and uncles: George Pilallis (Joan), Robert Pilallis, John Pilallis (Carmella), Virginia Pilallis-Vanderhoof (Peter), Gregory Pilallis (Carol), Susan Pilallis-Wahl (John), Christi Rattigan, Bill Csaszar (Jeneane), Scott Csaszar (Colleen), and Karyn Csaszar (Keith); and cousins: Lisa Barrieau (Michael, Brittney, Michael, Zackery), Christine Morrison (Jeff, Jordan, Ella), Michael Gruhler (Katherine, Hailey, Liam), William Theodore Jr. (Roslynn), Athena Wahl-Schifflett (John, Jacob, Christopher), Philip, Callie, Steven, Demi, & Kyra Wahl, Alexander Pilallis, Kacie Rattigan, Scott Csaszar (Margaret), Jonathan Smith, Kaitlyn Csaszar, and Kristina Csaszar. Tori will be dearly missed by her extended family, Claire and Crystal Yoxheimer, Taylor and Billy Yoxheimer, Dana Pilallis, John Smith, John Rattigan, Nicholas Bolton, Brandi & Megan McAndrews, and CC & Rachel Cummings; and her closest friends and their families: Joe Cavalieri (Dave & Kylie), Paul & Frannie Merlino, Jeff & Anita Anastasi (Nico), Amy & Michelle Black, Danielle (Tori’s God-Daughter Mariah) & Nicole (Layla) Riek. Tori is preceded in death by her loving nanny, Virginia Pilallis-Shelton, Pop-Pop, William Csaszar Sr.; and cousin, Kyle Csaszar. (In addition to her many dogs, especially King and Crazy Daisy) Our family appreciates the many families, friends, communities, schools and sports teams who helped shape Tori into the wonderful, bright and inspiring young woman who we will forever love and miss. We would like to acknowledge Todd Stark, Mindy and Dennis Haney & family, Theresa Schlue & family, Marcia Gazzara & family, Joe Pauls & family, Desiree & Tara (Christopher) Del Piano, The Chamberlain family, Doug Chapman, Christopher Burns, The Mullica Township School District, Oakcrest High School (Class of 2008), Mullica Township Rec Softball (and her coaching inspiration, Tom Higgins & family), The Brigantine Coed Adult Softball League, The entire Original Sweetwater Casino/River Deck community (Especially Tina, Chippy, Frank, Rocco, Kathy, Skip & Joyce Gaul, the boaters and bikers), and all of the young girls she adored and coached in the Cherry Hill American Little League Softball Team. Tori put every ounce of her heart and soul into loving, protecting, and cherishing her family. She certainly was, and always will be, the most amazing daughter and sister we could ever ask for. She undoubtedly left a lasting impression in our hearts, while her passionate, energetic, strong, caring and beautiful energy will continue with us during our lives. She will be devastatingly missed as a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend by so many. Her viewing will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 17, 2016 at the Wimberg Funeral Home, 400 Liverpool Ave, Egg Harbor City, with Memorial Services starting at 3:00 p.m. Our family wishes to express our gratitude for the many acts of generosity and kindness during this challenging time. In Lieu of flowers, please donate to the Cherry Hill American Little League Softball Team, to support the organization and young girls who Tori loved and proudly coached.
