OAKVILLE - Rosemary Margaret Neville age 90 of Oakville passed away peacefully at her home on November 15, 2017 surrounded by the love and comfort of her family after a lengthy illness. She was the wife of William T. Neville.

Rosie was born on June 2, 1927 in Waterbury, CT the daughter of the late John and Mary Murphy. After graduating from Sacred Heart High School, Rosie married the love of her life, William T. Neville. They have been happily married for 68 years and have resided in Oakville for the past 62 years. Despite not having children of their own, Rosie and Billy successfully raised 8 children, 17 grandchildren, and many, many great grandchildren. Their home was always open to the Lynch clan, who were fortunate to live next door to them.
