Frank Vincent Barrella, age 84, of Bayonne, NJ, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 3, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.
Born on April 22, 1941, Frank was the beloved son of the late Patricia ("Dolly") and Louis Barrella. He was the devoted husband of AnnMarie Barrella, with whom he shared 60 years of
marriage marked by deep love, enduring friendship, and steadfast partnership.
Frank was a proud graduate of St. Peter's College and dedicated his professional life to public service with the Internal Revenue Service. After his retirement, he continued to serve his community through his work at the Credit Union, where he was known and loved by many.
Frank had a curious mind and was an avid hobbyist and lifelong collector, always finding joy in discovering and preserving the stories that objects could tell. His passion for detail, his warm sense of humor, and his generosity of spirit will be remembered by all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife AnnMarie, his son Frank Barrella of Myrtle Beach, SC, and his daughter, The Very Reverend Allison Burns-LaGreca, and her wife Lisa LaGreca of Stone
Harbor, NJ. He was a proud grandfather to Connor Patrick Burns and Daniel Joseph Burns, and a cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. Frank is also survived by his sisters, Camille Zampetti and Louise Prospero.
In keeping with his wishes, funeral services will be private and are under the direction of Migliaccio Funeral Home.
Frank's legacy of love, laughter, and quiet strength will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.
