Helen Y. (Carbonara) Dellavecchia

Helen Y. DellaVecchia, 98, of Kent, OH, passed away on Saturday, December 2, 2023.  She was born in Latrobe, PA on October 22, 1925 to the late Amato and Michelina Carbonara.  In her younger years, Helen was a beautician.  After starting a family, they relocated to Greenville, PA where she worked as a nurses aide at St. Paul Nursing Home.  She was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kent and St. Michael Catholic Church in Greenville, PA,  where she volunteered extensively.

Helen loved her family deeply and enjoyed cooking.  She followed the Italian tradition of cooking special foods for each special holiday and passed that tradition on to her daughters, who in turn passed it on to their children.  Helen will be deeply missed and always remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Joseph DellaVecchia; brothers, Andrew and Antonio Carbonara and her sisters Marie Gasbarro and Myrtle Carbonara.

She is survived by her daughters, Toni DellaVecchia, Patti (Tom) Strosser and Nancy DellaVecchia; grandchildren, Joshua (Amy) Strosser, Luke (Tannaz) Strosser, Kristina (Tyler) Middleton and Sophia DellaVecchia; great grandchildren, Roman and Ethan Strosser and Novello Middleton and nieces and cousins in Latrobe, PA and Canada.

The family would like to thank all of her special home care givers.  Your loving care is deeply appreciated.
