Petrina worked at the American Optical Co. in Southbridge for over 25 years before retiring in 1983. She was very creative in crocheting and knitting and loved working around her house and church. She was well known for her famous apple pies and lacord. Her church was very important to her. She was an active member of St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church and its daughters of St. Nicholas.

Petrina gave the same love and dedication to her family and dear friends. She will be forever remembered for her loving heart, generosity and grateful attitude towards others.

To Petrina's Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Petrina's passing. I am going to miss her. I loved going to see her and hear her stories. I will miss my red egg at Easter. She made me slippers, which I will now cherish.
