[nfbmi-talk] Bea Petrilli

[Terry D. Eagle]

We have been praying for Bea at weekly Mass for several weeks.

In retirement, Bea was in an Uno card game club that my mom, Dorothy Scott,
Mary Lou Phillips, and Connie Grace played  the game regularly.  Now 3/4 of
the club are playing Uno in paradise.  I am certain they have recruited
others there who like playing Uno.

God rest Bea's spirit!

Hello,

 

Henrietta Brewer called me to let me know that her Mother Albina "Bea"
Petrilli died this morning.  Bea was 99 and a half years old. Bea graduated
from the South Dakota School for the blind.

Arrangements will be at the Estes-Leadly funeral home in Lansing.
Arrangements are tentative at the moment, but Henrietta is planning on
visitation tomorrow, the funeral on Wednesday and burial in the Detroit area
on Thursday.

 

Bea was very special to Mary and me.  Mary visited the Petrilli home as a
child.  Bea was the first BEP operator to work past the 70 year mandatory
retirement age.  Bea worked in Mary's and my store in downtown Lansing
selling various aids and appliances.  Bea is truly a role model for all
blind people and all people in general.  There are literally thousands of
other stories that everyone can share about this tenacious, hard-working,
loving person.  She will be sorely missed.

 

I will share information as I become aware.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Fred
