"Together Again"

Rachel M. Peloso, age 94, passed away January 19, 2022. She was born in Canton on September 3, 1927 and grew up in rural Perry Township. She graduated from Massillon Washington High School in 1945, and started working at Timken Roller Bearing Co. in the Shipping and Allocations offices, quitting in 1952 to start her family. She married Angelo Peloso in 1950 and together they raised two sons, David and Donald. She kept busy with her family that she loved, and with her interests that included crafts, crocheting, sewing, cooking and baking, bowling on leagues, watching all the Cleveland sports teams (especially the Indians), and keeping a spotless house. She loved visiting the Fenton and Westmoreland glass factories, horse racing, bus trips, collecting Precious Moments figurines, and belonging to the Precious Moments Club at Bereans. She loved her St. Anthony/All Saints Parish Family, all the Craft Ladies and the Miraculous Medal Sodality members there. She also loved to volunteer at the Italian American Festival for many years. She was an instant friend to everyone she met.
