DELPHINE M. PERICIN

PERICIN DELPHINE M. 92, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, October 3, 2013. A long time resident of Grosse Pointe Shores, has the last two years resided at Sunrise Assisted Living in West Bloomfield. She was predeceased by her loving parents, Helen and Peter Bryk, her brother Peter Bryk, and her husband Dr. John Pericin. Del and John were married during World War II when John was a navy pilot stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. Those were some of the best years of her life. Delphine was sweet and kind. Never did she say a negative comment about anyone. She loved being a homemaker including babysitting, cooking good Polish meals, and gardening in her beloved rock garden. Her husband John was the first musical director at the Grosse Pointe Theatre and boy did she enjoy singing to the tunes of his latest musicals. Their free time was spent partying with their best friends Ann and Ted and the children, who are still friends today. Delphine is survived by her beloved sister, Evelyn Bogan; her three children, Peggy (Bob) Kutscher, John Pericin II (Sandra), Mary Ann Janis (Chris); grandchildren Chris Gross (Rob), Jim Kutscher, Katie Fouts (Terry), Noel, Jon, and Alex Janis, Shannon Cuneo (Adam), and John Pericin III (Michelle); great-grandchildren, Jess, Jake, Lily, and Lexi Gross, Ella and Giana Cuneo, Cameron Pericin and Jack and Graceanne Delphine Fouts; sisters-in-law Bernice (Ray) Kostanecki and June Bryk.
