November 27, 2025

Mildred “Millie” Pedelini, 100, of Wilmington, DE and Lititz, passed away on Thursday, November 27, 2025. Born in Wilmington, DE, she was the daughter of the late Everett Pegan and Sarah (Maxwell) Pegan. She was also the loving wife to Francis “Frank” Pedelini for over 50 years before his passing in 2011.

Millie was a 1943 graduate of Wilmington High School and spent much of her life in various administrative positions. Outside of work, she enjoyed cooking, gardening, crafting, and spending time with her cats. She bowled in multiple bowling leagues weekly and continued into her nineties, and on Saturday nights you could often find her and Frank swing dancing together. She was driven, devoted to her family, and had an unforgettable energy with everyone she met.

Millie is survived by her children, Gail Brittingham and Guy Pedelini (Julie); grandchildren Jackie Brittingham, Joya Pedelini, Carla Bennett (Anthony), Meri Belcher (Jesse), Amber Tully (Isaac), Almonta Smith, and Daniel Pedelini; and great-grandchildren Zeppelin, Daisy, Hope, Hayden, Aurora, and Atlas. She was preceded in passing by her son, Frank Pedelini.
