Donald R. Petrilli passed away on November 20, 2019 after a hard battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Jean L. Petrilli, five children, and eleven grandchildren with one more on the way.
On the morning of his passing he was able to call his grandchildren into his room and tell them he loved them. For this reason we have set up this Memorial Fund in his name. He loved his family very much and we believe he would be thrilled to help the children at St. Jude fight this terrible disease he knew all too well.
We thank you for your kindness, thoughts, and prayers at this difficult time for our family.
In lieu of flowers we kindly request a donation be made to St. Jude to help continue the fight against cancer.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
