OAKVILLE - Lillian (Guerrera) DeLauretis, 83, lifetime resident of Oakville, passed away Thursday, November 3, 2016 after a long and courageous battle against Dementia in Boynton Beach, Florida, with family by her side. Lillian was the beloved wife of the late Anthony DeLauretis for 56 years.
Lillian was born in Oakville, CT on April 11, 1933 to the late Rocco and Pasqualina (Longo) Guerrera. Lillian had been employed by Scovill Manufacturing and Albright Chemical for many years and then worked for Winchester Electronics until the time of her retirement. She enjoyed spending her summers with her family in Connecticut and her winters in Florida walking the beach and collecting shells with her husband. She will forever be remembered for her street sweeping, weeding, and chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!
