It is with great sadness that
we announce the passing of Patti’s loving husband Jerome “Jerry” Filiciotto.
Jerry and Patti became friends in 1973, and they were married in 1990.
He was her best friend and traveling companion, and he helped her greatly
in her career. Together they operated the maple syrup business at Hilltop
Farm in New Hampshire. “The Farm” was Jerry’s favorite
place to spend time with his family. Patti feels blessed with the many
who have shared their expressions of condolence.

PATTI PAGE IS GRAND MARSHAL IN PACIFIC PALISADES
On July 4th, Patti served as Grand Marshal of the Pacific
Palisades Americanism Parade. This year's theme was "Celebrating
America - Proud, Strong & True." Patti's husband, Jerry Filiciotto,
rode with her in their parade car as approximately 25,000 spectators
welcomed Patti. Floats, marching units, bands and processions marked
the day, with trophies awarded in various categories. Celebrities and
dignitaries are always part of the parade; and this year, that included
Patti's good friend, Gavin MacLeod, who is the Honorary Mayor of Pacific
Palisades. For over 40 years, Pacific Palisades has been celebrating
the nation's birthday with their Fourth of July Parade in its current
format; but it's start came in 1948 when a group from American Legion
Post 283 rode through town on a fire engine, accompanied by children
from the local Boy and Girl Scout troops. It is now the largest Independence
Day parade in Los Angeles. Recent Grand Marshals have included Sir Anthony
Hopkins, Rafer Johnson, Casey Kasem and Vin Scully. (Photo by Rich

PATTI PAGE TO BE FEATURED IN GRAND MAGAZINE
Patti talks to GRAND Magazine in the December/January issue about how raising
two of her young granddaughters helps her and her husband Jerry stay young. "Those
young ones have kept us young at heart," says Patti. "We look
at each other and say, 'What would we do without these two little girls?'
Some of the things we missed raising our own children we appreciate more
now. It’s fun running after them." Between the couple, they
have 13 grandchildren and often host a grandparents summer retreat
at their farm in New Hampshire. Activities include games, putting on plays
and giving each child "Grandchild of the Day" status that affords special
privileges, such as selecting a movie or what to eat. GRAND, a magazine

PATTI SINGS NATIONAL ANTHEM
On Saturday, June 4, the incomparable Patti Page was at Petco Park to cheer
on her hometown team, the San Diego Padres. The world-renowned entertainer
performed the National Anthem for the sold-out crowd who gathered to watch
the Padres take on the Chicago Cubs. Sadly for Patti, the Padres were defeated
by the Cubs, 11-5.
Prior to the game, Patti took part in the "Dog Days of Summer" event
at Petco Park. The annual affair allows approximately 250 fans to bring their
dog to the ballpark for a doggie parade and then sit with their dogs in a special
section during the game. Fittingly, Patti sang one of her signature hits, "(How
Much Is) That Doggie In the Window" during the parade. |
