Willow Raye-Lynn Pelkey

The parents of Willow Raye-Lynn Pelkey sadly announce that she passed away after a brief battle with Meningitis on 9/22/24. Willow was born on 12/16/22 at Heywood Hospital in Gardner, Massachusetts.

Willow was just the happiest little girl, full of life and just coming into her own little personality. She spent her days playing and making friends at Guild of St Agnes. When Willow wasn’t at Guild, she was home spending time with her family and friends. Willow loved coloring, listening to music and dancing, playing with her siblings, and always had to know what mom and dad were doing. She was a caring soul who never wanted to see anyone sad and always loved to share.

She made people smile everywhere she went, including her 2nd family at Nouria Energy on Pearson Blvd. She was such a fun little girl, always making us laugh and giggle. She was always so curious and loved getting into trouble. And she wasn’t afraid to tell you how it is in her Willow babble.

Willow is survived by her parents Jordan F. Pelkey and Karli J. Pelkey of Gardner. Her brother Noah Alsassa, and her sisters Samara Alsassa, Alannah Rabitor of Gardner. Grandmother (GiGi) Lori (Markham) Navaroli from Sterling, Grandfather (Papa) Mark F. Navaroli of Ashburnham. Uncles, Connor and Alec Navaroli. Great Grandparents, Robert and Joan Navaroli of Leominster. Mary Pelkey of Saint Albans VT. As well as aunts, uncles, cousins, Caretaker (Manny) Thomas, family friends, and extended family.
