Frances Petrella Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John F Givnish Funeral Home - Academy Rd on Nov. 23, 2022.
Frances Petrella passed away on November 14, 2022. She was 103 years old. Frances is survived by her devoted son, Robert Petrella (Gerry). She is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph; and sons, Donald (Linda), and Joseph (Barbara).
Frances was ahead of her time being a working woman most of her life. Along with Elvis, who was her major interest, she enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, and being fashionable in her animal print clothing. Everyone in our family remembers her generosity, especially on Christmas and other family gatherings. Mostly, she went her own way in life. Frances truly was one of a kind.
Relatives and friends are invited to Frances' Life Celebration on Sunday, November 20, 2022 from 12:30PM to 2:00PM at John F. Givnish Life Celebration Home, 10975 Academy Road, Philadelphia, PA 19154. A memorial service will begin at 2:00PM.
