In Memoriam
Maryanne DeTullio
The Valley Community Foundation (VCF) extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Maryanne DeTullio, a lifelong Derby resident whose love for her hometown and the Valley touched so many lives.To honor Maryanne and her late husband, Larry, her family is establishing the Maryanne and Larry DeTullio Valley Legacy Fund at VCF. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes memorial donations to the Lawrence J. DeTullio, Jr. Fund, established in 2008 at VCF. These memorial gifts will be redirected to the new fund once it is officially established. Donations may also be mailed to Valley Community Foundation, 253-A Elizabeth Street, Derby, CT 06418, with “Lawrence J. DeTullio, Jr. Fund -- in memory of Maryanne” noted with your gift.

How Does Discretionary Funding Actually Work?
At the Valley Community Foundation, unrestricted or discretionary funding is one of the most important resources we have. It allows us to be able to respond when something changes, when a need emerges, or when an opportunity arises that could truly strengthen our community.
