Vincent J. Wemlinger, II

Vincent J. Wemlinger, II died of cancer on Friday, October 11, 2019 at Christiana Hospital. He was 75 years old. Born in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, Vince was the son of Vincent J. Wemlinger and Doris Irene Shippee. The family moved to Wilmington when he was starting high school.

He took great pride in lawn and landscape decisions for his home.

He was predeceased by his parents and his younger sister Marsha Guiff. Surviving are his beloved wife Mary and dear son Vincent, III of Wilmington, DE, brother Phil Wemlinger (Adele) and nephew Philip Wemlinger (Toni) and their son Chaz, all of Lincoln, DE.
