I knew Tina at AHN.  She’s left us too soon.  That beautiful smile and positive attitude will be included in all her loved ones memories.   A life well lived as shown in all the photos posted here.  Heaven has a new angel. 🙏

The steadfast conviction of her faith and the uplifting warmth of her smile were unparalleled in this world, and will be welcome blessings in the next. I love you, Zia Tina. Thank you for everything that you gave to us.

Dear Mario, Anthony, Maria, and your families,
I just want you to know what a strong, comforting, faith-filled, joyful, empathetic and loving presence Tina was to me.  We drank coffee and had hours' long conversations about God, life, the people we loved, politics, and the whys and wherefores of just about everything.  We laughed a lot, and even though some of the stories we exchanged were sad, we found comfort in each other's words.  We often called each other and asked for prayers for loved ones and friends.  I loved her as a sister  and I believe she felt the same about me.   I am so sad that we will not have those chats anymore.  I cannot even imagine how difficult it is for each of you to say farewell for now.  I think we are all blessed for having had her in our lives.  Tina was truly one of a kind.  She was loving, caring, and special, and of course, I don't have to tell you that!  I hope it is comforting for all of you to know how much she was loved, and how much love she had for others, and especially for all of you.
I will never stop thinking of her and praying for her and for each of you.  I know she is doing the same for us.
God bless you all!  
Dee 

Tina was a very special gift of God's love to her family and to all of us blessed to know her.

May God bless our grief as richly  as He blessed us all in her life.



What can I say about Tina?  She was a joy to know.  Always, always, always she had a smile on her face.  No matter how bad any day was going, having Tina walk up with that gorgeous smile lifted my spirits.  I was privileged to spend four years at AHN with her and especially privileged to reconnect with her at the All Years reunion in 2016 and at our own 50 year reunion last April.  She was the first to appear at the reunion and the years between seeing each other faded away as she walked up to me with, yes, a smile on her face.  It is obvious she was loved by many and for good reason.  Tina, you will be missed dearly.  I think there is now a hole in the universe. May  God Bless you Tina and be with you on your journey.

I'll NEVER forget her infectious smile and our pleasant conversations.  She always made me feel important.  
May she be in eternal peace.

So many words to describe Tina Petruccelli.
Kind, thoughtful, happy, fun loving, sharing, friendly, un-waivering, non judgemental,  intelligent, beautiful, generous just to name a few.
But my favorite attribute that I will always remember is caring.
She always placed everyone before herself in the time of need, distress or help.
Her family bond was one like no other with her great love for her husband Mario and children Anthony and Maria. 
Best of all her smile and twinkle in her eye that could light up the room instantly!
Tina will be missed by all that had the pleasure of enjoying her. 

My memories of Tina when we attended AHN together was that she was a very special young lady who loved God and her fellow man. I had never met anyone like her and I feel so blessed to have called her my friend. She had a beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. As years went by we lost touch with each other but thanks to my friend, Joanne Derosa Read we found each other again. I will always feel blessed by God to have had Tina in my life. Tina will always be remembered as Beautiful Inside and Out!

Please accept my sincere condolences.  I will keep  you in my prayers.

Joanne DeRosa Read Tina was always a spitfire of a girl with that gorgeous "Gidget/Sally Field" smile which she still had the last time I saw her in November. Tina was feisty, but she was also always so thoughtful and caring of others. Our Italian heritage brought us together and our families, the Vecchiarellis & DeRosas, knew each other well. A bunch of us, Tina, Net, Lorraine, Anita, Virginia, my sis Rosie & I always had a blast at the Our Lady Of Sorrows teen club back in the day when they had awesome live bands like Lawrence & the Arabians and the El Corols. She will be missed by all of us at AHN & beyond, but I'm so thankful that I was able to reconnect with Tina at the April reunion and over the past few months. Lots of love and prayers to her wonderful family:   Mario, Anthony, Maria & their families as well as to John V. & family and Net V. Starr & family. 💜


Sending LOVE and PRAYERS!
God blessed me with an angel, and did many a good deed,
     her name was Tina, and clearly present in all my times of need.
Her smile so loving and amazingly bright,
     her conversations with me always turned to His Great Light.
Tina’s faith was unwavering and truly a gift,
     she always knew what to share to give me a lift.
May heaven embrace you, with wings open wide,
     as the kindest of souls to be forever by my side. 
Although the plan had you leave, with a tear in my eye,
     I will remember you fondly, my precious guardian angel, now high in the sky.
Tina would tell me to be brave and have faith in our Lord God above, 
     she is peacefully home and being showered with his eternal love. 
My memory will stay strong and your presence will remain true,
     dear Tina (and family), you’ll be kept close in my payers, ending softly with the words,
I LOVE YOU!
Love,  Candy (Russ and Russell too)


Memories of Aunt Tina will always bring a smile on our faces! May you find peace in your wonderful memories of her. 

Tina was the most friendly, funny, caring friend.  I graduated from AHN with her in 1968.  She was very empathetic and caring...a very religious friend.  I have reconnected with her thru FB and our recent reunions and found her to be her same true self, I'm just sorry that God called her home so soon.  God takes the best and leaves the rest!  
I am sending heartfelt condolences to the family at this sad time.
I will miss Tina❤️

Maria & family,

I am very sorry to learn of your loss. May you know I am praying for you.

God bless you,
Ann M Zelenka

I always found Tina to be helpful and cheerful.  May she rest in peace in the arms of Mary.

Best Regards,

Aunt Tina always has a light about her. She was always so positive and sweet. I remember when my husband was in a motorcycle accident she sent me a very sweet letter and a scapular necklace. Just one of many times she touched my heart in a simple yet deep and meaningful way. Uncle Mario, Maria & Anthony  ... I hope
you can find some peace knowing she is resting peacefully and watching over us all. Love you guys. XOXO

My deepest condolences to all of Tina's family. You are all in my prayers.

We became moms for the first time at the same time. We shared so many firsts and so much more over the years. I will always remember her beautiful smile and how she made everyone feel special even in a crowd.
I am a better person for knowing her and I will never forget my treasured friend. 

A beautiful friend a person to go to when happy sad needed help she will truest be missed.  My heart is breaking miss my dear friend love you 

I have just learned of Tina’s passing. I am so sorry, this is a great loss for her family, friends, and humanity.

I met her as a young woman and although over the years only had limited contact, it was always a joy to talk with her. She was so much fun to be around and she was one of the most positive and uplifting people I have ever had the privilege to know.

She was a woman of great faith, may that bring strength and  comfort to you, Mario and your children at this immensely difficult time.

Heaven has just gained a great angel.

Eternal rest be granted to you, dearest,  dearest Tina...
