Joannie (Petteruti) White. I remember Maggie as a small child and my mom who is 96 remembers her well. There were many good times shared many years ago. Our deepest sympathy to the family. My grandmother was Girloma (Palmieri) Petteruti. My dad was John Petteruti.

Maggie was a very sweet woman. Even though she was only with us for a very short time, she really made an impact. She was always ready to help with any job, especially gardening. Maggie was always joking with us and always had a smile on her face. We feel that she enjoyed herself here at the Village. It was a pleasure knowing her. Sincerely,
Brian Vincent and Kelly Robinson
