The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, April 08, 2004
Frank A. Piselli, 80, died peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, April 
7, 2004, after a life rich in love and blessings.

Frank was born to Ralph and Mary Piselli on May 20, 1923 and graduated from 
SS. Peter & Paul High School with the Class of 1941. He married Anna Novello, 
on October 25, 1952, and she survives.  He is also survived by his brother, 
Louis (Jean) Piselli; sister, Edith (Dolly) Bailey, both of Ionia; several 
nieces, nephews and many, many friends.  He was predeceased by his parents and 
one daughter, Mary Lynn.

Frank was a lifetime member of SS. Peter & Paul Church and the Knights of 
Columbus and also a member of the VFW and DAV. He was part-owner and operator 
of the Ardini/Piselli Tavern in downtown Ionia for several years and was 
employed by the State of Michigan as a corrections officer for 19 years. He 
served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II and received the 
Purple Heart for action in Guam.

Frank and his wife Ann were fabulous cooks and helped organize and carry out 
social events, dinners and lunches for many years at SS. Peter & Paul. His 
strong faith, love of God and church was an example to aspire to. His 
generosity and care for others will be missed by all.

Visitation is Sunday, April 11, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Lake Funeral 
Home, 3521 S. State Road, Ionia, with the Rosary recited at 8 p.m.  Funeral 
services are Monday, April 12 at 10 a.m. at SS. Peter & Paul Church, Ionia, 
with burial in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Ionia.  The family requests that in lieu 
of flowers donations be made to Ionia Area Hospice and the Ionia County 
Memorial Hospital in his memory.
