Mark Joseph Vugrinec's Obituary
Mark Joseph Vugrinec, age 72 of Lewes, DE, passed away on Friday, July 24, 2020 at Abington Hospital, Jefferson Health in Abington, PA. He was born on February 15, 1948 in Detroit, MI, son of the late Joseph and Lillian (Mertes) Vugrinec.
Mark loved to fish, travel, play golf with his children and family get togethers. He owned First State Homes and developed several subdivisions throughout Delaware. During his retirement, Mark enjoyed being a travel agent, preparing cruises and vacations for his family and friends. In his later years, he became a dog lover and treasured the time spent with his best four-legged pal, Duke. Mark's last family gathering was the celebration of his granddaughter's graduation party, where all the family was together to celebrate the great achievement. All of his children would say the most memorable aspect of his life was the devotion to family and time spent with all.
Mark is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara Vugrinec; his daughters: Megan Latham and her husband James, and Reinie Thompson and her husband Kevin; his son, Micah Vugrinec and his wife Katherine; and his granddaughter, Jessie Latham.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, June 27, 2021 at 1:00 PM, at Lutheran Church of Our Savior, 20276 Bay Vista Rd., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.
