Devoted To Family
And Friends
Evelyn Pettit Brunetti, 84, of Brookfield, died at her home, June 6, surrounded by her loving family. She was born November 24, 1926, in Danbury, to Elizabeth (Kominack) and Louis Pettit.
Her greatest love was her family, and she leaves her children William Brunetti, Sr, and his wife, Joanne, of Newtown, and Robert Brunetti, Sr, and his wife Ramona of Goshen; four loving grandchildren; two treasured great-grandsons; two sisters-in-law; and many other cousins, nieces, and nephews. She leaves a very special friend, Leonora Cerullo.
Mrs Brunetti was an avid roller skater and treasured the memories she made skating with her husband, Mitzie, and her many friends. She loved her job as quality control inspector for Davis & Geck, where she worked until her retirement in 1986. She had a great sense of humor and will always be remembered for her wonderful summer pool parties, and her beautiful crocheted afghans. She was a dedicated member and officer of AARP Chapter #3340 and the Amerigo Vespucci Lodge. The family takes comfort knowing she is reunited in heaven with her husband of 53 years, Modesto âMitzieâ Brunetti.
Her family would like to especially thank her caregiver and angel, Avis Chambers, and the compassionate, dedicated staff of Regional Hospice of Western Connecticut for enabling Mrs Brunetti to continue on her journey with dignity and respect.
