Sue Rose Wright Pellerin Passes

Sue Rose Wright Pellerin, 84, wife of Pellerin Milnor co-founder, Norvin Leroy Pellerin, passed away on Oct. 23. Mrs. Pellerin was the former Pellerin Milnor Corp. first secretary and treasurer.

“She was the best,” said Katie Pellerin Furtado, advertising coordinator, Pellerin Milnor, and Mrs. Pellerin’s granddaughter. “Without her understanding and sacrifice, Norvin would have not been able to be as successful as he was.”
