Vincent Lewis Monroe, affectionately known as "Money or Vinny", entered into eternal rest on March 28, 2021. He was a native of Charlottesville, Virginia. Vincent was born on September 11, 1956, to the late Joseph Lewis and Corine Henderson Monroe.

He was educated in the Albemarle County Public School System and was a member of the graduating class of 1974. On December 31, 1997, Vincent married the love of his life, Dorothy Walker Monroe.

Vincent was baptized at Wake Forest Baptist Church, Scottsville, Va., at a young age and later joined Middle Oak Baptist Church, Blenheim, Va. After 25 years of service, he retired from Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority.

During his youth, Money would often be found shooting hoops at Tonsler Park. He kept up with the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team, Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, no other team could come close to the love he had for his beloved Dallas Cowboys!

Vincent enjoyed taking all opportunities to look sharp in his many suits and is known for having the "cleanest cars in Charlottesville" – having a keen eye detailing all vehicles. He always enjoyed the company of family and friends, but more specifically, his three grandsons. He also visited the sick in nursing homes and consistently called and/or visited his family and friends. Vincent is known for his Karaoke singing of "One in Million", and his favorite gospel song was "I Won't Complain".

He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Dorothy Walker Monroe; daughters, Jarina Johnson (Myron) and Janelle Walker (Supreme); grandchildren, Malik and Marquis Johnson and Deyard Milligan Jr.; sisters, Pearl Harris, Gladys Saylor, Gwendolyn Gray (Percy), Thomasena Monroe, and Renee Magruder; brother, Carl Monroe; father-in-law, James A.
