    1. [S496] Obituary - Elizabeth (Phelan) Ney, (Waterbury Republican).
      WATERTOWN ? Mrs. Elizabeth T. (Phelan) Ney, 88, passed away peacefully at Waterbury Hospital on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. She was the widow of Charles E. Ney, Sr., having been happily married for 49 years.

      Mrs. Ney was born Dec. 31, 1926, in Waterbury, daughter of the late William F. and Mary (Maher) Phelan. Raised in Waterbury, she attended local schools and was a graduate of Sacred Heart High School.

      A resident of Watertown for the past 36 years, she had been employed at Century Brass and also worked in the town clerk's office for the City of Waterbury. She was a communicant of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and will be remembered as a loving, strong and devoted mother and grandmother.

      As for the simpler pleasures in life, she found enjoyment in casino trips, shopping and family dinners. Known as Betty by those who knew and loved her, the more pertinent and personal aspects of her life revolved around the health and well-being of her family.

      She is survived by six sons, Bill Ney of Watertown, Charles E. Ney Jr. and his wife, Sharon, of Lancaster, Calif., Francis M. Ney and his wife, Margaret, of Watertown, Patrick J. Ney of Naugatuck, Daniel Ney and his wife, Janet, of Milford, Mass., and Rodney Ney of Watertown with whom she resided; four daughters, Rhea Williams and her husband, Joe, of Pittsfield, Mass., Dorothy Ney of Waterbury, Mary B. McClay and her husband, Joel, of Terryville, and Theresa A. Ney of Watertown with whom she resided; 14 grandchildren, Christopher Ney of Wannaque, N.J., Christine Valle and Robert Williams, both of Pittsfield, Mass., Patrick Ney of Middlebury, Daniel Ney of Naugatuck, Amanda J. and Jessica Leigh Ney, both of Watertown, Jimmy and Kelly Ney, both of Milford, Mass., Brandon and Sara McClay of Terryville, Autym Ney of Watertown with whom she resided, and Aaron and Jordan, both of Lancaster Calif.; nine great-grandchildren; a great-great-granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews, including Julie Schott (No. 11) and her husband, Jim. She was predeceased by her brothers and sisters (Phelan family).

      Arrangements: A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 3, at Church of the Nativity, 48 East St., Bethlehem. Burial will follow in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Calling hours will be 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, March 2, at the Bergin Funeral Home, 290 East Main St., Waterbury.
