Louis Vella

Born on September 19,1936, in Sicily, Italy, son of the late Daniel and Maria Vella. He is survived and missed by his loving wife, Maria of 63 years, two daughters: Marisa (Sam) Little, and Doris (Jamel) Charouel; five grandchildren: Natalie (Brandon), Samuel, Jamel, Nathaniel, and Daniel; and two great-grandchildren: Colton and Luke. He is also survived by his brother and sister: Giovanni and Giuseppina.

Louis worked as a cabinetmaker for 44 years where he created beauty and function, and his skill, pride in his work, and attention to detail were evident in everything he built. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus for several decades. Beyond his profession and community service, Louis was known as a kind, gentle, and dependable man who always put family first. He was a loving husband, devoted father, proud grandfather and great grandfather, and cherished friend whose presence will be deeply missed.

Louis Vella leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and family that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
