In Memoriam
November 2, 2007
Rachel Parrotto Budzynski passed away on the night of Monday, October 29th, after a one year battle with a rare form of cancer. With her were her family and friends at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Rachel, wife to Paul and mother to Isabella, was 37. A service will be held at 1:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Church on Saturday, Nov. 3rd.
The island came together for a fundraiser in June to help the family with travel back and forth to Boston, raising over $100,000. The photos of Rachel below were taken at that benefit. She was strong and positive and inspiring and happy and grateful and luminescently beautiful and fully at peace that day.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Family and Children’s Services with a reference on the check to Rachel Budzynski. The donations, which are to assist Mrs. Budzynski’s husband and daughter with living expenses, may be mailed to Arlene O’Reilly at 43 Miacomet Ave.
