Honoring our Champion of Hope: Maria & Angelo Petitti

Whether you are from the area or new to the region, you know the Petitti name. If you have spent time in any one of their stores, you are immediately amazed by the variety of plants, outdoor furniture, children's toys and decorations for all seasons. However, what is most admirable is the character of their staff, always meeting customers with a smile, a recommendation and a helpful hand when loading your car. The culture of kindness, service and generosity was born from founder Angelo Petitti and wife Maria.

The Petitti family was instrumental in the site development of Cornerstone of Hope when we moved into our new center in 2008 providing truckloads and I do mean truckloads of trees, boxwoods, evergreen plants, flowers and ornamental grasses. Their support and generosity has continued to evolve as our ministry has grown. Maria and Angelo Petitti have enormous, compassionate hearts for those who suffer loss. Their authentic care for those who grieve is so natural because they treat everyone like family. They have never forgotten their Italian roots and through their own grief journeys truly understand and empathize with those who seek help at Cornerstone of Hope. It is with great excitement, honor and privilege to introduce our 2022 Champion of Hope Honorees Maria and Angelo Petitti!
