Vincenza A. "Vicky" Wells, 90, of Sandusky, passed away late Thursday morning, Feb. 16, 2023, at ProMedica Toledo Hospital.

Vicky was born Nov. 10, 1932, in Airola, Italy, the daughter of Dominic and Rosina (Lombardy) Massaro. At a young age, her family immigrated to the United States and settled in Hamburg, New York. She was a graduate of Hamburg High School.

Vicky and her husband, Barney, owned and operated Seacrest Motel for over 40 years. She enjoyed spending time with her family and the grandchildren and playing cards with her many friends over the years.

Vicky was a member of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Ladies Auxiliary of the Elks, V.F.W., American Legion, Italian-American Beneficial Club (and past president), and "Golden Girls' + 1.

She is survived by her son, Dominic "Nick" Wells of Sandusky; two grandchildren, Kathryn Vincenza Wells of Sandusky and Dominic (Annette) Wells of Bowling Green; great-grandchildren, Mackenzie Laughlin and Oscar and Adlai Wells; and nieces and nephews.

Vicky was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Barnsdall "Barney" Wells (1992); son, Barnsdall "Dale" Wells Jr. (2020); wonderful daughter-in-law, Denise Kay (David) Wells (2016); a brother; and two sisters.

It was her wish to be cremated.

Visitation will be 8:30-9:50 a.m. Saturday, March 4, 2023, at David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky. Mass of Christian burial will be 10 a.m. Saturday at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 510 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, with Fr. Monty Hoyles officiating. Burial will be at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery, Hamburg, New York.

The family suggests that memorial contributions may be made in her name to one's favorite charity.
