At the time of her death, she was a member of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Millsboro, and a member of St. Edmond"s Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach.
Mrs. Colletta thoroughly enjoyed making cookies and giving them as gifts to her many friends. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Frank J. Colletta in 2000; and her two brothers, Phil and Frank.

A committal service will be 11 a.m. Wednesday in Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery Chapel, 26669 Patriots Way, Millsboro. The Rev. Patrick Betts of Crossroad Community Church will officiate.
Burial will follow the service.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Crossroad Community Church Building Fund, 7 U.S. 13, Bridgeville, DE 19933; or Delaware Hospice, 20167 Office Circle, Georgetown, DE 19947.
