Family and friends will soon gather to say farewell to our beloved mom, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, cousin and friend Barbara Panelli, who passed away on November 26th, her family by her side. She was 86 years old, born in San Francisco to Elizabeth and Arthur Belcher Sr. and graduated from San Jose State with a bachelor's degree in English Literature.
