Frank N. Felicetti

Frank Nicholas Felicetti, 82, passed away on July 11, 2025 at Cokesbury Village in Hockessin, Del. after a brief hospitalization. 

He was the spouse of Constance (Leo) Felicetti, with whom he shared 59 years of marriage. 

Born in Wilmington, Del., he was the son of the late Frank G. Felicetti and the late Frances (Dandrea) Felicetti.

Frank grew up in Avondale and went to Georgetown University where he graduated with a law degree. While at Georgetown, he began dating his soon-to-be wife, Connie Felicetti, who was studying for a master's degree in biology. The two of them were married and settled in Rockville, Md. when they finished school. Connie and Frank had two sons, Matthew and Stephen. Eventually, the family returned to southern Chester County, and it was in Kennett Square that Frank set up his law practice.

From 1992 to 2002, Frank and Connie became the proud owners and innkeepers of an historic bed and breakfast in Cape May, New Jersey, known as the John F. Craig house. For 10 years, Frank was the main breakfast cook for the multitude of guests who came through their doors, and he was often applauded for his efforts. Even after they sold the B & B, they continued to live in the Cape May area for many more years, and Frank was an active volunteer with several organizations in the community.

In his spare time, Frank was known to be an avid hiker and traveler. Along with membership in the Wilmington Trail Club, hiking excursions took him to the northwest territories of Canada and on yearly trips to Costa Rica in the winter.

Frank was also generous with his time and over the years volunteered with a number of organizations. He was a past president of the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce and was instrumental in the creation of The Mushroom Festival in the 1980s. He volunteered with Meals on Wheels in Delaware for many years, the Kiwanis Club in Cape May, and most recently at Cokesbury Village where he and Connie have lived for the last few years. Frank was very involved with the white elephant sale and several other activities in the Cokesbury community.

Frank will be remembered for being warm and welcoming, kind and caring, fun and adventurous, and giving of himself and his time.

In addition to his wife, Connie, he is survived by his son, Stephen Felicetti; his sister-in-law, Fran Leo-Holmes (Tom); his sister-in-law, Judy Bonifacino; and a number of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his beloved son, Matthew Felicetti, and by his and Connie’s cats, Hekyll and Jekyll.

May Barlow

May E. Barlow, 76, of Nottingham, passed away peacefully at her home on July 12, 2025. 

She was born in Reading, Pa. on June 10, 1949, the daughter of the late James and Ruby Seese. She was the beloved wife of the late Raymond D. Barlow, who preceded her in death in 2013.

May dedicated over two decades of her life as a nursing assistant at Kendal-Crosslands Communities. Even after retirement, her compassionate nature led her to continue caring for elderly patients through private duty work.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—spending time at the Kennett Senior Center, visiting her sisters Ruth and Kathy, and enjoying trips to bingo and Delaware Park.

May is lovingly remembered by her five children, Ava Seese (Artie Richardson) of Spring City, Pa., Raymond Barlow (Sherri) of Peach Botton, Pa., Gina Barlow (Michael Greenplate) of Newark, Del., Chris Barlow of Oxford, and Emma Jones (EJ) of Nottingham. 

She was affectionately known as “Gaga” to her grandchildren, Elizabeth Keefer, Michael and Matthew Greenplate, and Travis (Cole) Jones, and her great-grandchildren, Harrison and Ruby Keefer.

She is survived by her sisters, Gladys Salada, Ruth Dickens and Kathy Glenn (Dave) and her brothers, Daniel Seese and Barry Seese (Donna). May was preceded in death by her brothers, James Seese, Jr., Kenneth Seese, Sr., and Robert Seese.

May's caring spirit, sense of humor, and deep love for her family will be dearly missed by all who know her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 16 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Oakryn Hall at 569 Nottingham Road in Nottingham.
