Miss Adelyn Pero

Batavia- Adelyn Pero, 62, native of Batavia, longtime resident of Florida, passed away on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, in Williamsville while under the care of hospice after a 2 year battle with cancer.

Adelyn was born July 4, 1955 in Batavia, a daughter of the late Charles R. Pero and Marien Pixley Pero. She is also predeceased by her nephew, Michael C. Napoleone, who passed away on December 30, 2006.

Adelyn was a member of the Class of 1973 at Notre Dame High School. She was employed most recently for the City of West Palm Beach and for many years prior at Florida Power and Light. She served on the Board of Directors for the Michael Napoleone Memorial Foundation for a number of years. "Addie" was a big fan of the Buffalo Bills, The New York Yankees and the University of Notre Dame.
