“Grief is just love with no place to go, and tears are words the heart can’t express. But please don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened”

Vicki Lorene Glass (Monaghan, Dellamano) of Collinsville, Illinois, left us on November 20, 2025.

Born on April 23, 1948, in Collinsville, IL; she was the daughter of Arthur Dellamano and Lorene Dellamano (Jones). She was affectionately known as Vicki TaTa.

Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Cousin, and Friend; her passing leaves us all broken-hearted but so blessed to have had her in our lives.

Her early years were spent in Collinsville surrounded by a large extended family and attending Holy Cross Lutheran Church and School. The family moved to California in 1960 where she completed her education and began her career in clerical work and office administration. Returning to Collinsville in 1977, she continued her career in office administration and human resources at Anderson Hospital until retirement.

She is survived by her husband, Michael Glass; a son, Sean Monaghan; daughters, Jennifer Hart and Katie Glass; her beloved grandchildren, Addison and Lenny; her “only brother” Jan Dellamano; as well as nieces and nephews and cousins too numerous to name, but all dearly loved.

She loved life and family. Always there to help, her home was always open to family and friends. She never missed a birthday, anniversary, or holiday, and was always up for a good time or game night. She took great care of her parents in their later years and loved doting on her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Her interests included archeology, history, and sports. She had a special love for owls, buffalo, hummingbirds, roses, and all things Native American.

Please join us in celebrating the life of our sweet Vicki, and the love and joy she brought to ours:

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, from 12pm-4pm at Holy Cross Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 304 South St. Collinsville IL, 62234.

The family is being served by Herr Funeral Home, 501 W. Main Street, Collinsville, IL 62234.
