Obituary for Lilia Perotti
Lilia Perotti, 92, of Creekside, died Sunday, December 14, 2014 at the Communities at Indian Haven. Born in the town of Castellamonte, Torino, Italy, she was a daughter of the late Giacomo Perotti and Olimpia (Scevola) Perotti. Lilia was the widow of Anthony Perotti who died December 27, 1996. She moved from Italy to the United States in 1948. She and her husband moved to their home in Creekside in 1952.
Lilia grew to adulthood during World War II and she and her family spent the last thirty months of the war living under German Occupation. Her brothers fought with the Italian Resistance movement, so Lilia helped her parents work the family farm. By the grace of God and with much prayer, the family survived the war without serious injury. These events helped Lilia to develop a strong faith with a special devotion to St Rita.
In 1953, Lilia became a US citizen and as she often mentioned to her son, she was both proud and honored to be a citizen of the greatest nation on earth
Lilia was a homemaker, working at home to care for her family. She was a member of the Creekside Homemakers Club. She was a longtime member of the Church of the Resurrection in Ernest, formerly the Church of the Assumption, where she belonged to the Alter Rosary Society; she was also a member of the Catholic Daughters of America, St. Bernard’s Court.
She is survived by her children are: James Perotti & wife, Cynthia, Waterford, PA and Rita Fabin & husband, Gregory, Indiana. Her surviving grandchildren are: Eric Perotti, Waterford, PA and Kurt Perotti & wife, Kaylin, Erie. She will also be remembered by her special nieces, Flora Arduini & husband, Ken, Clune; Gladys Smith, Boston, nephew Peter Perotti & wife Margo, Butler; and by numerous nieces and nephews living in Italy. Lilia will also be missed by her beloved dog, Brady.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings: Enrico Perotti, Elio Perotti, Marta Mezzanatto and Maria Zucca.
Visitation will be from 2-4 & 6-8 PM Tuesday, December 16th at the Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home of Indiana. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM Wednesday morning at The Church of the Resurrection, Ernest. Interment will be made next to her husband in St. Bernard Cemetery, Indiana.
