Mona was a nurturing and dedicated mother to her son, Tim Pellegrin, and daughter, Julie Blanchard. She always cherished spending time with her children, sharing laughter, stories, and creating unforgettable memories. Mona's appreciation for family extended to her daughter-in-law, Heidi Pellegrin, and Bucky Angelette, whom she considered a dear member of her own family.

Mona found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, finding solace and peace while fishing in lake Decade. She delighted in the thrill of casting her line and patiently waiting for the fish to bite. When she wasn't on the water, Mona could always be found in her kitchen, passionately cooking up mouthwatering delicacies that brought people together. Her culinary creations will forever be treasured by her loved ones.

Not only was Mona a devoted mother and talented cook, but she also cherished her role as a grandmother. Spending time with her grandchildren brought immeasurable happiness to her heart. Whether it was playing games, sharing stories, or simply basking in their love, Mona treasured every moment spent with them.

Mona Jeanne Pellegrin will forever be remembered as a loving mother, doting grandmother, skilled cook, and a woman whose contagious smile brightened the lives of those she encountered. May her soul find eternal peace, and may her memories continue to inspire and comfort those who loved her.
