She was born January 25, 1929, in Fall River MA, a daughter of the late Robert and Yvonne Duff. Barbara was preceded in death by her late husband Salvatore A. Petrillo, one daughter Patricia Petrillo and one son Mickey Petrillo.
She was a member of St. Patrick’s Church, enjoyed working at the polls, and was a homemaker. She loved gardening, arts and crafts festivals, shopping at all the Christmas Tree Shops, and spending time with her family. She was also an active supporter of the Somerset Berkley High School music and wrestling programs.
Barbara is survived by 2 daughters, Barbara Nogueira and Nancy Medeiros, both of Somerset; 2 sons William Petrillo of Plymouth and Michael Petrillo of Bristol, RI; 14 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. Mom was a strong, determined and fiercely independent woman. We will miss her as we celebrate her life.
Due to current restrictions on public gatherings, her Funeral Service and Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Barbara’s honor may be made online to the Faxon Animal Rescue League of Fall River. Arrangements are in the care of Waring-Sullivan Home at Rose E. Sullivan, Somerset.
