Peter Joseph “Pete” Jafrate, 97, of Washington, formerly of Benwood, W.Va., passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 26, 2018, in his home.
He was born October 29, 1920, a son of the late Gaetano and Dominica Boretta Jafrate.
Pete was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church. He was a World War II U.S. Army veteran.
Pete never met a person he couldn’t talk to. He was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need and made sure to enjoy life to the fullest with a positive and outgoing attitude. He enjoyed playing the harmonica and dancing, but above everything, he cherished his family.
In addition to his parents, deceased are his loving wife, Rosalind Irene Jafrate; sister Mildred Martini; and two brothers, Alfonse and Albert Jafrate.
Pete is survived by two children, Linda (David) Harton and Richard (Silvia) Jafrate; sister Jennie Magestro; brother Angelo Jafrate; three grandchildren, Beth Harton, David (Kristen) Harton and Beatriz Jafrate; several nieces and nephews; and extended family from all over the world.
Family and friends will be received from 1 to 7 p.m. Sunday in Altmeyer Funeral Homes, Elm Grove Chapel, 154 Kruger Street, Wheeling, W.Va., where services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, July 2, with Father Arul Anthony officiating. Interment will take place in Parkview Memorial Gardens, Wheeling.
