Vincenza "Vee" Marchetta

Vincenza Marchetta “Vee” passed away on November 19, 2021. Born, June 22, 1923, she was a lifelong resident of Tampa. For many years, Vee was a teacher for the Headstart Program where the children loved her. She also served as an information specialist at the Hillsborough County Court House. Vee was proud of her Sicilian heritage and would speak to you in English, Spanish or Italian. She was the family historian and loved to tell stories about her parents and her childhood in Ybor City on 8th Avenue. She was the ultimate fashionista and could tell you the exact color of your shirt or nail polish with just one look. Vee’s greatest love was her family. She had no children but loved her nieces and nephews like her own. We will miss our aunt but we know she is reunited with her loved ones and her Barletta family that she adored.

Vee was preceded in death by her parents, Salvatore & Josephine Barletta Marchetta; brother and sister-in-law, Louis & Billie Ann Marchetta; sister, Angie Roberts; brother-in-law, Joe Greco; great nephew, Justin Ryan Alvarez; and her beloved Barletta family. Vee will be sorely missed by her sister, Violet Greco; brother-in-law, Al Roberts; nieces, Roxanna Marchetta Alvarez (Manny), Stephanie Hunt (Steve), Rebecca Greco, Lynne Greco; nephew, Mark Marchetta (Roxanne); great nieces, Ansley Lamb (Joe), Laura Marchetta, Jennifer Marchetta; great nephews, Aaron Alvarez (Nina), Andrew Hunt (Kat), Michael Hunt; great-great nieces, Angela Jo Alvarez and Francesca Alvarez; great nephews, Drew Lamb and Tyler Lamb.
