Pera Franko, a longtime resident of Stamford, peacefully passed away at her home on the morning of Wednesday, March 24, 2021 with her family by her side. She was born in Malta on November 14, 1927 and was the daughter of the late Emmanuel and Carmela Ellul Chetcuti. Pera was 93 years old at the time of her passing.
Pera was lovingly known as “Moo-Moo” to her family and friends. Her greatest love was spending her time with her family. She was a devoted member of her church, St. Cecilia’s Parish.
