Gene Pellegrini Obituary
Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, Gene was the son of the late Ildebrando and Mamie Ruggiero Pellegrini.
He proudly served during the Vietnam era in the U.S. Navy as a Hospital Corpsman Second Class.
Gene earned his master's degree in Geriatric Nursing from California State at Hayward.
He worked as a nurse at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in San Francisco and the Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz.
Gene was an avid fisherman having spent a great deal of time fishing from his boat and at the Capitola Wharf. He was a great lover of animals and is survived by his beloved dog, Brook.
He was well known for helping his friends and neighbors and was loved by all who knew him.
Gene is survived by his niece, Cindy (Pellegrini) Tryniszewski of Chester Springs, PA; nephew, Wayne Pellegrini of Paoli, PA; nieces, Joanne (Pellegrini) Lacassin and Judy (Pellegrini) Hebert, both of Belle Chasse, LA; and his dear friend, Mardi Hammerberg of Ridgecrest, CA.
In addition to his parents, Gene was also predeceased by his brothers, Louis Pellegrini and John Pellegrini.
A visitation will be held from 12 to 2 pm on Thursday, January 9th at the Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel, 1050 Cayuga Street, Santa Cruz.
Entombment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery and Mausoleum, Santa Cruz, where military honors will be rendered.
