Obituary For William T. DeMarco
William T. DeMarco, 79, of Bristol, RI, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. A son of the late Edward J. and Dorothy (Carr) DeMarco, and the loving husband of Charlotte (Card) DeMarco for almost 39 years. Billy grew up in East Providence, RI and graduated from East Providence High School in 1964. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard that year, serving four years aboard the USCGC Yakutat (WHEC 380), out of New Bedford, MA. He was a veteran of the Vietnam conflict, when the Yakutat was deployed with Squadron 3. Upon his discharge from the Coast Guard, he began a long career with the U.S. Postal Service as a letter carrier, always greeting his customers with a smile. He was awarded a Bachelor's Degree from Johnson and Wales College in 1979.
Billy was a member of the Coast Guard Combat Veterans Association, the Ancient Order of Hibernians Dennis Collins Division in Newport, the BPOE #1860 in Bristol, and Ireland's 32 Society. He and Charlotte loved to travel, especially to Ireland, and Billy was always ready for adventure. He enjoyed Irish music, working in the yard, and chatting with neighbors and passersby.
In addition to his loving wife, Charlotte, he is survived by his sisters, Kathy Whelan and Mary Ann Fournier (Robert), both of East Providence, RI, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was the brother of the late Edward J. DeMarco Jr.
