Obituary

Arlene Perazzini passed away on Monday, Nov 26th at the age of 84. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Frank Perazzini, Sr. She was born April 11, 1934 in the Bronx, to the late Ettore & Ida (LePore) Castaldo. She lived most of her life in Harrison and graduated from Harrison High School in 1952. After raising her family, she enjoyed a career of more than 20 years in the publishing industry, retiring from the Walter de Gruyter Company as Managing Editor in 1999. Arlene’s true passion was helping others. Her volunteer efforts included the Harrison Jr. Women’s Club, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. Arlene was Parsons PTA President as well as President of Harrison Meals on Wheels and of the Resident’s Committee at the Bristal Assisted Living residence in White Plains, where she lived the final years of her life. Arlene was elected to the Harrison Board of Education in 1974 and served as both Vice President and President during her tenure. She later served as child advocate for the school district. She also spearheaded the Harrison Support Our Troops Program, soliciting donations of toiletry items for soldiers stationed abroad in 2004. Arlene enjoyed life and always had a smile on her face. She loved the company of friends and family – especially her grandchildren. Arlene is survived by her children, Frank Perazzini, Jr. (Patricia) and Tina D’Ottavio (James) and grandchildren Michael and Elise Perazzini. She is predeceased by her brother, Fred Castaldo. To honor Arlene’s life, family and friends will gather on Thursday 4-8pm at COXE & GRAZIANO FUNERAL HOME 767 E. Boston Post Rd Mamaroneck, 914-698-5968.
