Julie Wilson, General Manager

It is a pleasure to be part of this wonderful community, Villa Bella.  I have over a decade of experience in Senior Retirement Living.  I have worn many hats during that time and gained the most valuable of assets through working with Senior Citizens.  “Villa Bella is truly an experience you won’t want to miss."

Angie D’Aleo Morelli, Marketing Director

After 30 years as a Mortgage Counselor, I decided that I wanted to get into something else so I was blessed to be hired at Villa Bella in September 2006 as their Director of Marketing. I went to Macomb Community College where I earned an accredited certificate as an Elder Care Specialist in Gerontology.   I sit on the Board of Henry Ford Macomb Hospital Gerontology Steering Committee,  the Macomb County Council on Aging and the Italian American Cultural Society. I have received several recognitions, a few of which are the civilian honor medal from the United States Marine Corps for my dedication to their Toys for Tots program, Woman of the Year by the March of Dimes and the Columbus Day Celebration Committee and “Women Who Make Magic” award by 105.1 MGIC Radio. “I feel every day is an opportunity to share happiness and joy with my Seniors and to learn from their great experiences and knowledge.”
