OXFORD – Alfred C. Pisegna, Jr., 81, died peacefully on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, surrounded by his family. He was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Evelyn M. (Dautrich) Pisegna of Oxford, who died in 2014. He is survived by two children, Ruth Y. Marquis and her husband, Henry, of Oxford, and James F. Pisegna and his wife, Julia, of Oxford; a brother, Francis Pisegna of Worcester; three sisters, June Worster of Oxford, Ruth Hart of Worcester, and Yvonne Thurston of Dracut; and three grandchildren, Taylor Marquis, Evelyn Marquis, and Olivia Pisegna, all of Oxford; and many wonderful nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by two sisters, Stephanie Carbonneau and Carole Astukewiez.

He was born in Worcester, son of the late Alfred C. and Stephanie (Wicik) Pisegna, and lived most of his life in Worcester before moving to Oxford 11 years ago.
