Patricia M. Parrillo, 71
Dateline: West Yarmouth, MA
Patricia “Patti” M. (Dei) Parrillo, age 71, of West Yarmouth, formerly of Dennis and a former longtime resident of Mansfield, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully on Sunday, April 13, 2025 at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis.
Born in Attleboro, MA on October 30, 1953, she was a loving daughter of the late Americo P. “Hucky” Dei, Sr. and Sylvia C. “Celia” (Restaino) Dei.
Patti grew up in Mansfield and was a 1971 graduate of Mansfield High School. Prior to retiring, she had been employed as a Paraprofessional for Mansfield Public Schools. Patti was very proud of her former job as an Executive Secretary in the Human Resource Department at the Foxboro Co and having the distinction of being the first female employee to hold that position.
While passionately raising her two sons, Patti treasured the time she was able to dedicate to establish unbreakable bonds and instill valuable lifelong lessons. Her family meant the world to her and becoming a grandmother opened up a whole new chapter in her life. A resident of Cape Cod since 2004, Patti loved spending time and creating cherished memories at Bayview Beach in Dennis. She loved to quietly lay in the sun with a smile on her face, or had a blast searching for unique rocks with her grandchildren. Her grandchildren would light up every time they were with their vibrant and magical Nonna.
She is survived by her loving and devoted sons, Anthony M. Parrillo and his wife Tricia of North Attleboro and Michael F. Parrillo and his fiancé Maureen of West Yarmouth. She was the cherished and proud grandmother of Anthony “A.J.” Parrillo, Jaxon Parrillo and Ava Parrillo, all of North Attleboro and Ariana Parrillo and Lorenzo Parrillo, both of West Yarmouth. She was the dear sister of Americo “Ricky” Dei, Jr. and his wife Denise of North Attleboro, Paul “Hucky” Dei and his wife Cecelia of Charlestown, RI, Ronald Dei of Mansfield and the late John Dei, who is survived by his wife Maureen Dei of Mansfield. She was the beloved life partner of Gerald Cleary of Foxboro and the former wife of Frank Parrillo of North Attleboro. She is also survived by her loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend visiting hours on Monday, April 21st from 5:00-8:00 P.M. at the Sherman & Jackson Funeral Home, 55 North Main Street, Mansfield.
Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, April 22nd at 10:00 A.M. in Saint Mary’s Church, 330 Pratt Street (Route 106) Mansfield. Burial will follow at Saint Mary’s Cemetery in Mansfield.
