Diana Perillo Memorial Fund

In memory of Diana Perillo, her friends and family have decided to establish a scholarship fund in her name, to help her memory live on and to help a deserving student at her high school alma mater (Council Rock) with secondary school expenses.

Many knew Diana as a bubbly, pint-sized firecracker of a personality who was most at-home on the beach, cheering on the varsity football cheer squad under the Friday night lights, or watching her favorite trashy reality tv show. What many did not know was that Diana battled Cystic Fibrosis her whole life. She never wanted the disease to define her and never wanted a burden to be placed on anyone. Diana was a fighter through and through. After falling ill the summer of 2023, she was diagnosed with lymphoma and passed September 23, 2023.

Diana was a vibrant girl full of life and positivity whose smile could light up any room. She had a love for pop culture and could remember every dance or cheerleading routine she ever learned. She loved the beach, word puzzles, and she always joked she’d be a cat lady one day.

Diana will be missed not only by her family, but by everyone whose life she touched. Diana was a graduate of Council Rock South and of Penn State University where she studied Psychology and was involved in the community through her sorority.

To honor Diana’s memory we are setting up a scholarship fund to help high school students with the cost of post secondary education. With your donations, we hope to help offset the cost of higher education for other young deserving women.

Thank you for your generous show of love and support.

Jill Carothers (Diana’s lifelong friend) and Michael Perillo (Diana’s brother)

**Transfer of Funds**

Due to constraints with providing funds directly to the recipient, donations will be transferred to Jill at campaign completion and a check will be provided in the exact amount to the scholarship recipient at the school scholar banquet in June 2024. Details will be published surrounding final memorial contribution upon campaign completion
