West Chester, PA: Wife of the late Roswell B. Wing and a longtime resident of Kensington, MD, died Saturday the 16th of April, 2011, at Sunrise at Westtown, PA. Born in 1927, in Brockport, NY, Neva grew up in Hamlin, NY, the daughter of Carl and Marion Newman. She received her Bachelor's degree from Keuka College in 1950 and also studied abroad in Brussels, Belgium.
Neva married Roswell Wing of Kendall, NY, in 1950, and after several stops, including Philadelphia and Baltimore, they settled in Kensington, MD. They adopted two children in the early 1960s and when Roz received an overseas assignment, they moved the family to Bangkok, Thailand, where they lived for 5 years. After returning home to Kensington in 1970, Neva worked as the Executive Assistant to the President of the National 4-H Foundation from 1974 until 1990. She spent the next several years working with the Speech-Language-Hearing Association, as well as maintaining her active membership in both the Kensington and Bangkok Women's Clubs.
Neva was a wonderful wife and mother who spent endless hours enjoying and loving her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved to cook and entertain, enjoyed traveling, playing bridge with friends, and volunteering at Calvary Lutheran Church. She maintained a strong bond with family throughout her life and traveled often back to Hamlin to visit relatives and friends.
She is survived by her son, David Wing and his wife Tracy of West Chester, PA; daughter, Kathy Goetsch and her husband Todd of Germantown, MD, along with four grandchildren: Daniel & Connor Wing, and Brittany & Bryan Goetsch. She is also survived by her two brothers, Richard and Neil Newman and their loving families.
